Fractalized - CD

This album features four compositions created over the past eight years, drawn from the rich catalog of Pawel Hendrich, a composer recognized by festivals, ensembles, and musical institutions worldwide. These works demonstrate the composer's consistent development of his unique style, with a particular focus on the architecture of musical form. The title, Fractals, perfectly encapsulates the essence of their structure, highlighting the limitations of material means, yet framed within diverse time and spatial scales.This is music that is deeply contemporary in it's expression, where robotic elements-requiring near-superhuman technical skill-are intertwined with the omnipresent spirit of improvisation, a domain that can only be fully realized by the human performer. The composer leaves the decision of which element will dominate to the performers each time they take the stage.The album is a live recording of brilliant interpretations by soloists and ensembles specializing in contemporary music performance, hailing from Poland, Austria, and Switzerland. These performances, recorded during Polish contemporary music festivals, feature the composer himself creating the electronic layer, bringing the compositions to life in an electrifying and dynamic way.
