In
2011, the prose score of „Tauologos III”, served as framework for
a chamber opera prepared in Komuna// Warszawa. Its core element
consisted of three separate performances of a short fragment of
Alfred Schnittke's String Trio. Violinist (Julia Kubica), violist
(Wojciech Walczak) and cellist (Filip Rzytka) played their own parts
of the given movement one after the other. Their performances were
recorded live and finally overlapped and played back with no
synchronization. The procedure was sprinkled and scattered by dance
movements and lecture dealing with notions of division of labor in
music informed by both sociological and musicological insights into
the topic (references to Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, Jacques Attali
and Christopher Small). Album release is an updated and re-recorded
version of the performance and hopefully a self-explaining tautology
as well.

One of three
completely different albums intersecting in a territory of
interpretation, overinterpretation and misinterpretation of music –
beloved themes of Populista. Lucier
and Ferrari
albums may seem heterodoxical if not simply wrong, especially if
compared with previous phonographic releases. Yet literally speaking,
none of them violate the instructions of the scores and Populista is
perversly proud to state that this time nothing forbidden by the
composers have been done here. „Tautologos III” and „Chambers”
are radically open forms, presuming a creative approach from the
interpreters and this was taken seriously in search of the content
that seems close to the music ideas of the composers. Tartini
release is more of a classical Populista approach. It deliberately
breaks the instructions given by the composer in the name of some
other features introduced by the composer himself.
