Projekt 100! Credo - Przyszłość Muzyki
Festiwal Tradycji i Awangardy Muzycznej "Kody", Lublin 15-05-2012

100! Credo Project -- The Future of Music (Projekt 100! Credo -- Przyszłość Muzyki) is a special concert inspired by the text of John Cage's 1937 Credo. It is a joint audio-performative piece which attempts to translate the textual into the musical. Cage's text through which the American composer endeavoured to project the sonic culture of the future is transformed in the musicians' commission into an organisational text, a type of musical notation and a point of artistic departure.

The musical piece to be presented by the ensemble will be a crossover one: it will encompass among others sonorism, field recordings, unorthodox musical techniques, turntablism, sampling as well as analogue and digital musical creation. With a view to forming a versatile ensemble, I have invited a variety of instrumentalists, specialising in contemporary classicial music, improvised music, electronica as well as turntablism.

By implementing the techniques of collage and montage, Cage pioneered contemporary forms of composing. Sound is an ingenious fabric that fails to disappoint. Re-reading Credo over seventy years after the inception of Cage's text and using the techniques spearheaded by the composer is unique.
