As part of a project titled "From Studio to Network – Developing Creative Competencies in the Age of Technology," which was implemented as part of the KPO for Culture program, I did research on various aspects of using artificial intelligence in the broadly defined work of a composer. This resulted in a comprehensive article, which I'm sharing here – it is available to anyone interested in this topic. The text is available in PDF format on the Zenodo website: https://zenodo.org/records/18787416 – it can be read online or downloaded. Important note: it is available in two languages: Polish and English.

The project was co-financed by the European Union's NextGenerationEU fund as part of the National Recovery Plan.

On February 13th, ALTOTRONICA, a CD album by the outstanding violist Krzysztof Komendarek-Tymendorf, was officially released by the American label Centaur Records. I had the pleasure of working with Krzysztof on this album. I composed the opening track Waveless Storm for him, mastered the entire album, and helped with the final production of several other tracks. Due to my involvement, I'm probably not entirely objective, feeling emotionally attached to this material, but I wholeheartedly recommend it – it's an exceptional album, a collection of very different pieces, yet always combining two elements – the noble sound of the viola with electronics. It also offers a survey of the work of a wide range of Polish composers, which in itself is a great asset to the album. Friday, February 13th will certainly be a lucky date for ALTOTRONICA, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for its success.

On Saturday, January 24, another installment of the play Strange Things took place, a comedy horror film set in the 1980s.

On Wednesday, January 21st, an important event will take place in Paris – as part of the anniversary edition of the 50th International Viola Congress in Paris, the outstanding violist Krzysztof Komendarek-Tymendorf will perform a recital. His program will include, among others, my composition "Waveless Storm" (which I wrote especially for Krzysztof and which is included on the recently released ALTOTRONICA album), as well as our joint piece from the "Extrēmus" program, specifically "Extreme Dissonant Alchemy." Krzysztof will also give a lecture, "Polish heritage for viola solo and electronics." Needless to say, both of these pieces are for viola with electronics, and in the latter case, also live. The event will take place at the Conservatoire Nadia et Lili Boulanger. More about the event and the congress itself: https://www.the50thinternationalviolacongress.com/en

I spent December 17th and 18th in Warsaw on a study visit to the Chopin University Electronic Music Studio, located at the Department of Composition at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music. I familiarized myself with the modern technology available to the university and its studios, particularly the tools for working with surround sound (Dolby Atmos, etc.). This visit is possible thanks to the support received by my project "From Studio to Network – Development of Creative Competencies in the Age of Technology" under the KPO for Culture program. I would like to thank Wojciech Błażejczyk for the invitation. The project was co-financed by the European Union's NextGenerationEU fund as part of the National Recovery Plan.

I spent December 11 and 12 in Wrocław, at the Computer Composition Studio of the New Media Faculty at the Karol Lipiński Academy of Music. This study visit was made possible thanks to support from the KPO for Culture program for my project, "From Studio to Network – Developing Creative Competencies in the Age of Technology." I familiarized myself with the tools and software used there, including original, proprietary solutions. I also had the opportunity to visit a studio where film scores.are produced. As an added bonus, I also led a class with students on hybrid methods of working with sound synthesis – using analog instruments, voltage control, and software, plug-ins, and methods for combining both technologies. I'd like to thank Marcin Rupociński for the invitation. The project was co-financed by the European Union's NextGenerationEU fund as part of the National Recovery Plan.

December 9th, the Baltic Opera in Gdańsk will feature music that symbolically and quite freely materializes certain ideas of Anton Webern, yet expresses them in a decidedly modern way, through electronics and an aesthetic that doesn't shy away from atonal, glitchy sounds, with a dense, often collage-like structure. www.WEB.e.rn/2025 (as is its title) is a modern musical project inspired by the work of Anton Webern – one of the most important composers of the 20th century. The title of the musical event is not just a phonetic play on the composer's name and website address – it proposes an interpretation of Webern as a current phenomenon. Each of us – Max Kohyt and I – have prepared several of our own compositions, from which we will construct the dramaturgy of the entire performance, visually complemented by Klaudia Korczak. The performance begins at 7:00 PM. More information on the event website: https://operabaltycka.pl/wydarzenie/koncert-www-web-e-rn-2025

On Sunday, November 30th, I'll be playing a solo concert in Uppsala as part of an event called Ljudbio Live. I'll be performing my latest, large scale electroacoustic composition, Seconds Before the Storm. The concert will take place at Slottsbiografen (http://www.slottsbio.com/), a fascinating, historic building located on Nedre Slottsgatan. It's one of the oldest surviving cinemas in Sweden, built between 1914 and 1915. Electroacoustic music will be performed in these historic surroundings on Sunday. The performance begins at 6:00 PM.
