Quest# - Elena Rykova International Festival of Contemporary Music Warsaw Autumn

go to content

is a graphic score for six to nine chromatic instruments, inspired  by Wassily Kandinsky’s Point and Line to Plane. In the score, different shapes of the point are transformed into coloured figures  that function as musical mechanisms. Performers translate movement across the page into changes of pitch and dynamics, choosing their own routes, durations, and relationships to the other  lines. The piece unfolds as a shared act of navigation: a visual  plane becomes a sounding space, where individual trajectories  cross, diverge, and search for temporary moments of encounter.
