NORTHERN VOICES
Vocals woven out of my Icelandic memories; out of the landscapes of the North; out of the wish to explore unmapped territories… around me and inside me – in the voice!
SEMA Studio followed these fascinations of mine by recording and documenting on film my vocal inspirations with the Far North. The long-awaited “video clip” can now not only be heard, but also… “peeked at”.
The video clip engages us in the pursuit of nature… Also the nature of the voice.
Zygmunt Konieczny arrived in person for the first public presentation of the new arrangements of his songs. His enthusiasm, greeted with great satisfaction by the artists, matches the extraordinary applause of the audience. As a result, the project took on an even more spectacular form.

The composer himself wrote a song specially for Agata Zubel, while Cezary Duchnowski agreed to add a symphonic layer to the electronic material he had previously prepared. All this will be heard for the first time in January 2017, at Zygmunt Konieczny’s anniversary celebrations in Katowice.

This new project, prepared in collaboration with a leading early music ensemble – ARTE DEI SUONATORI, is not so much about contrasting radically different aesthetics as about finding a common denominator and disproving the myth of impassable boundaries of expression.

Listening to Agata Zubel’s music you get the sense of a composer who is restless, searching, embryonic. Watching her sing her music live, you get the added dimension of your own mesmerized, unsettling voyeurism of an act of powerful, original creation. Zubel is an ascendant voice in new music whose music demands to be heard and seen.
