This collection, released in 2021 on the prestigious KAIROS label, showcases the unique compositional voice of the Polish experimental music composer. Born in Warsaw in 1977, Gryka's work is deeply influenced by her fascination with scientific phenomena, particularly quantum physics, which infuses her music with a sense of curiosity and discovery.
"Interialcell" features five intricate compositions, each performed with precision and artistry. The ensemble pieces "Interialcell" (2003), "Emtyloop" (2020), "Einerjedeneither" (2011), and "Mutedisorder" (2015) demonstrate Gryka's mastery of texture and form, while "Youmec" (2006) for harpsichord and ensemble, performed by Florian Müller, adds a touch of historical resonance to the modern soundscapes. The album, with a total duration of 46 minutes, is a testament to Gryka's ability to blend intellectual rigor with aesthetic beauty.
The performances are brought to life by the renowned Klangforum Wien, conducted by Johannes Kalitzke, ensuring that every nuance of Gryka's compositions is vividly realized. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado of experimental music or a curious explorer of new sonic territories, "Interialcell" offers a rich and rewarding listening experience.
