Wax Music
composer: Pawe Mykietyn premiere: Ars Musica International Contemporary Music Festival, Brussels (Belgium) commisioned by: National Audiovisual Institute (Poland)

Every single performance of this 23-minute long piece is unique, since record players produce sound from wax cylinders that are gradually degraded in the process. This work link sold and new technologies in an unusual way. It commemorates the past and the fact that sound and its carrying media vanishes. Ewa Schreiber

The libretto for a comic opera was based on short stories by Stanisaw Lem about the adventures of designers Trurl and Klapaucjusz as well as from Robots Tales. Dating from 1968-1970, the work was finally premiered in Poland in 2013. Its fortunate that it was staged now to coincide with the revival of 1960s aesthetics and discussions about the successes of the so-called Polish composers school. Cyberiada is also a pastiche, allowing for various graceful stylistic approaches. (polityka.pl) http://www.culture.pl/baza-muzyka-pelna-tresc/-/eo_event_asset_ publisher/eAN5/content/krzysztof-meyer
