Work
commissioned by the
National Audiovisual
Institute, Poland on the
occasion of the opening
of the new venue.
NANINANA for amplified
keyboard instrument
(preferably the classic
Fender Rhodes Stage
Piano) and string
orchestra arranged in two
symmetric groups, which
was commissioned by the
National Audivisual
Institute for the opening
of its new seat in 2015,
is a composition on a
special kind of absence.
You could define this
absence as perceivable,
but difficult to
understand. There are a
lotof elements here which
can illustrate this
absence: from the
interlude tones that are
supposed to sound, yet
not to the full, through
the first appearance of
the soloist with his part
containing fragments of a
composed melody which is
mostly improvised, the
second movement with
harmony that can suggest
hopeless longing for
something that can never
return, to the final
culmination which is
there, but seems as if it
were not there... The
work's motto is an
anonymous poem that seems
to refer to the concept
of the so-called
Schrodinger's cat, i.e. a
hopeless attempt to
rationally explain
illogical phenomena in
our world's microscale:
Where, oh, where is that
cat which is and is not
there? Aleksander
Nowak.
