Stefan Węgłowski: Contemporary Jewish Music

Stefan Węgłowski's project entitled The Contemporary Jewish Music is a result of a lengthy intellectual process, intense growth and a search for inspiration… The concept of form, the vision of a defined dramaturgical structure, the idea of a powerful, unequivocal, intense and expressive music, accompanied by equally poignant lyrics, emerged gradually. The search for a literary layer led him to the books of the Old Testament, which, rediscovered years later, presents us with a God who is strict and cruel. The excerpted material has undergone a long, arduous processing, in order to achieve a clearly defined effect- an idiosyncratic, unique sound, which is an invariant element of a complex musical structure.
