Space, vibrations, sonorism, light and breath are the most important features of Przemysław Strączek’s musical project with space visualization entitled “Pillars of Creation”. Music is life, it’s a mystery we want to discover, it’s questions we seek answers to. The eponymous Pillars of Creation is a Hubble Space Telescope image of elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula in the constellation of the Serpent, approximately 6,500-7,000 light years from Earth.
The program of the concert will feature the leader’s works composed for a non-classical instrumental composition without bass in the rhythm section. The musicians will be accompanied by a cosmic visualization performed in real time by Damin Jabłka, an astronomer professionally associated with the Silesian Planetarium.
