Nemezis
at C3 are presenting an electronic reinterpretation of works by Paweł
Mykietyn.
Composer
and clarinetist Paweł
Mykietyn's
music is vivacious, sometimes aggressive and always posseses clear
structure. The composer uses major-minor harmonies, introducing tonal
fragments that alternate with harmoniously free pieces. Mykietyn
appears to be a model of the postmodern artist: extremely
self-confident and ready to seek inspiration and material from all
available sources.
Mykietyn studied
composition at the music academy in Warsaw. His work 3
for 13 for
13 artists (1994), as well as Epifora/Epiphora (1996)
was awarded First Prize in the category “Young
Composers“ at the UNESCO
International Rostrum of Composers.
Paweł
Mykietyn's
career began at an early age: his debut at
the Warsaw
Autumn Festival of Contemporary Music with
his work La
Strada occured
whilst he was still studying composition. He later premiered other
compositions at this festival including Concerto
for Piano and Orchestra (1997),
Commencement
de siecle (1997),
Shakespeare's
Sonnets (2000)
and the opera
Ignorant i szaleniec/ An Ignoramus and a Madman (2001).
Nemezis was
founded in 1996 by Łukasz Pawlak, later joined by Kondrad Kucz and Marcin Bociński. In 2001 they released the album Whispers
from behind the window, which
was highly praised by critics. The project In
Between, a
collaboration with the alternative Polish theatre group Suka Off,
combined music with multimedia visuals.
Currently Nemezis
is
working on a new album with the composer Paweł
Mykietyn,
a collage of Myketyn's works for orchestra and cello mixed with
industrial-ambient sounds, alongside visuals by Malwina de Brade.
