Set of twelve distinct, easy to play miniatures emanated from different then standard sequential harmonic solutions. In some pieces the melody line was composed firstly and later harmony was added. In others chords, naturally out-coming in such sequential approach to harmony, are written as arpeggios and arranged in progressions. Sometimes melody is created from the chosen chord’s elements. In whole unit the following notes result from individual method of consonance creation. The above process yet still based on traditional keys, is divergent from common tertian, but always consistent with chosen way of chords creation. Interestingly, contrary to standard sequence’s method numbered by ‘three’, that is opened, some of sequences are closed, namely only a strict number of components is permitted.

Sequences Unit Second
Set of twelve distinct, more sophisticated than Unit First, but still easy to play miniatures emanated from different then standard sequential harmonic solutions. In some pieces the melody line was composed firstly and later harmonised. In others chords naturally out-coming in such sequential approach to harmony, are written as arpeggios and arranged in progressions. Sometimes melody is created from the chosen chord’s elements. In whole unit the following notes result from individual method of consonance creation. The above process yet still based on traditional keys, is divergent from common tertian, but always consistent way of chords creation. Interestingly, contrary to standard sequence’s method numbered by ‘three’, that is opened, some of sequences are closed, namely only a strict number of components is permitted.
Triptych
Three pieces constitute impression on musical motives written by Michał Lorenc from various movies. The creation process based rather on musical memories and my feelings of 90’s climate both era and impressions after watching movie. I did not insinuate myself into any existing score and also did not think about how to write perfectly matching musical line. The process started from few phrase and later harmony was added. Such created basement was further compositionally modified towards effects I had in mind remembering my feelings after watching movies with Michał Lorenc’s music. I recommend to watch cinematic pictures and have a fun in finding which of the pieces were inspiration of Triptych.
Seven Polish Folk Songs
Set of seven, folk songs from various parts of Poland. After playing melody in different keys choice was such that reflects the main idea of the piece. However, not only keys are changed but also meter. Some of the melodies are shifted in such a way that strong beat is not in the original place of the archetype. Harmony is non-standard and applied chords suit enrichment colour of the pieces. In the song Nasieję jarej rutki second part bases only on natural harmonics. Moja mamuliczko possesses an interesting structure where melody maunders through chords which are played arpeggio or are just explicitly written down as a distinct notes. What is so interesting about the rest songs included in the set you have to discover by yourself.
