Piotr Kurek - Lectures, Crónica 2009 CD
"Inne Piesni" was comissioned for the Festival of Tradition and Avant-garde Music "Codes" in Lublin on May 23rd 2009.
Album is based on fragments of Walachian, Serbian and Albanian songs performed by vocal ensembles "Srbska Arhaika" from Belgrade, The Ensemble of Polyphonic Singing from Gijokastra "Argjiro" and Slobodan Markovic from Slatina. Recordings took place at the Studio of Radio Lublin during concerts "Songs of the Balkans"on 26th of November 2008.
Lectures was initially composed in 2007 for a live performance in Warsaw, during a Cornelius Cardew music festival that was part of the series of events “Zakrzywienia Igły”, organized by Michał Libera. The original idea was to perform Cardew’s pieces but this later evolved towards an improvisation based on sounds appropriated from various Cardew recordings, complemented by additional instruments. With the help from Walter Cardew, the composer’s son, Kurek was also able to use unreleased recordings from lectures, performances and rehearsals conducted by Cardew, and recorded for private use. This release presents a further development of the pieces composed for the live performance, inspired by Cornelius Cardew and his lectures.
