About

The harpsichord is, for me, a tool of exploration — not a reconstruction of the past.

In my artistic practice I focus on contemporary and experimental music, exploring the relationships between the instrument, electronics, image, and performer. I am particularly drawn to graphic scores and intermedia projects, in which the performer co-creates the final shape of the work. In my work I expand the sonic possibilities of the instrument, seeking new contexts for it within contemporary art.

In Memoriam

Wiktor Przybył & Małgorzata Klajn · WRO 2017

A multimedia concert dedicated to the Dutch harpsichordist Annelie de Man, created together with Wiktor Przybył (WRO 2017, White Stork Synagogue). Contemporary harpsichord repertoire meets real-time generated visuals that search for a visual language for the dual — acoustic and electronic — nature of this music.
