About the music
My main artistic focus is on orchestral and other instrumental music, writing in a moderately contemporary style – not breaking with tradition, while not excluding the new. My current fields of interest include exploring extended techniques, polyrythmical and polymeterical structures, microtonal harmony and in recent year repeatedly– the guitar.
Orch in the Dungeon
On this channel I talk about the art of orchestration/instrumentation and score-reading / score-playing, two closely related topics, both of which of special interest to me. I teach both subjects at my daily job as an assistant professor at the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music.
