about

"Fleeting" - The idea for the piece was born when I read my mother's poem. I did have a strange breath. It was a moment. The production of the piece was weirdly fast.

Text processed with the Say program on the Amiga 4000. So it is generally read by the computer. Why a computer? I think that nobody would stand my mono declamation. Processing it with a vocoder hmmm… I didn't like it. Amiga 4000 oh… that sounded cool. Why not in Polish? The Say program has no Polish phonemes. My mother has a lot of beautiful poems in her works. Somehow this poem particularly struck me. Such a small nod to my mother (78 springs).

„Ulotność” – Pomysł na utwór zrodził się czytając wiersz mojej mamy. Jakieś miałem dziwne tchnienie. To był moment. Realizacja utworu powstała dziwnie szybko.

Tekst przetworzony programem Say na Amigę 4000. Więc generalnie tak naprawdę czyta go komputer. Dlaczego komputer? Myślę, że mojej mono deklamacji chyba nikt by nie wytrzymał. Przetwarzanie tego wokoderem hmmm … nie spodobało mi się. Amiga 4000 o … to fajnie zabrzmiało. Dlaczego nie w języku polskim? Program Say nie ma polskich fonemów. Moja mama ma sporo w swoim dorobku pięknych wierszy. Ten wiersz jakoś szczególnie mnie ujął. Taki mały ukłon w stronę mamy (78 wiosen).

lyrics

Fleeting

You said "I was at the concert."
I thought, "I wish I was there."

You said…
I thought…

The music stopped, you heard it.
The music stopped, I didn't recognize it.

You say "it is written"?
But, it's not like that after all.

It's not like that.
The transience of a musical little moment
it is similarly immeasurable
how...
infinite ... immensity ... of the universe ...
