NEW RELEASE: PIOTR KUREK'S "LECTURES" CD

http://www.cronicaelectronica.org/?p=042

“Lectures” was initially composed in 2007 for a live performance in  
Warsaw, during a Cornelius Cardew music festival that was part of the  
series of events “Zakrzywienia Igły”, organized by Michał Libera.  
The original idea was to perform Cardew’s pieces but this later  
evolved towards an improvisation based on sounds appropriated from  
various Cardew recordings, complemented by additional instruments.  
With the help from Walter Cardew, the composer’s son, Kurek was also  
able to use unreleased recordings from lectures, performances and  
rehearsals conducted by Cardew, and recorded for private use. This  
release presents a further development of the pieces composed for the  
live performance, inspired by Cornelius Cardew and his lectures.

Piotr Kurek is a Polish composer and musician, working and living in  
Warsaw, born in 1978. Piotr Kurek studied classical piano and played  
drums but is most known from his activity in dance theatre and  
electronic music. Co-founder of ever changing project Ślepcy, emerged  
in the late 90’s, he collaborated with various record labels  
including Ambush (London), Kool.POP (Berlin), Cock Rock Disco  
(Berlin), Klangkrieg (Berlin) and Unknown Public (London) with whom he  
released his solo music for theatre. Enthusiastic collector of all- 
size instruments and vintage studio equipment.
