Exploring the Essence of Pure Improvisation in Sound

ΒΑΔΙΖΟΝΤΑΣ - Walking
During the creative process of a theatre work in Athens, a short cinematic teaser was made, and I responded to it musically through an instant composition. [...]
While working on the performance βαδιζοντας (Walking), a filmmaker whose work spans narrative and visual storytelling invited a dialogue between image and sound.
The teaser became a moment where improvisation met cinema — and I answered with a sound created in the moment.
On stage and in sound, I continue moving between performance, music, and found resonance.

Synchronizing
What Will Come, and How... This piece appeared in the moment, with kora strings partly wrapped in tape and tuned around 432 Hz. [...]
The tape softened the vibration of the strings and gave the sound a muted, earthy tone.
This is a first trace, recorded as it arrived.
I sensed there might be more hidden in it — the potential for a fuller piece to grow from here.

Crossroads of Resonance
"Crossroads of Resonance" is an instant composition with a prepared travel kora, tuned to 432 Hz. [...]
It began in a quiet moment. I stayed with a few notes and let them settle in the space.
Preparing the kora changed the colour of the sound and introduced small surprises.
This piece follows what happens between notes rather than around them.

Entwined
Two flutes and a frame drum, weaving sounds that follow passing thoughts. [...]
Dissonances appeared naturally, echoing the tension around the rising rivers in and around Wrocław.
A flood wave is approaching. People watch the water and wait.
This piece stayed close to that quiet anticipation.

The Water Is Coming
September 2024. Flood waters are rising around Wrocław. Nearby towns are already under water. [...]
People are watching the river and waiting. There is a quiet tension in the air.
During this time, music moved to the background, but listening remained.

Sonic Stillness - improv
This began as a rehearsal with long tones — sustained sounds and simple listening. It slowly grew into something more. [...]
A month passed without sharing anything, but the time was filled with music — practice, travel, concerts, everyday playing.
I started using a small recorder, letting moments be captured quickly, without much preparation.
This is one of those traces from Wrocław.

Improvisation on Birbynė
Back in Wrocław, I returned to playing and listening in a familiar space. [...]
I received another Sennheiser e835 microphone that remained after Kate. It joined the birbyne that day.
Two microphones, one instrument, and attention to the room.

Inspiring Failure
Nearly a month passed without recording, though I kept practicing and staying with the instruments. [...]
Some attempts didn’t stay, and that was part of the process. Today I chose to leave this trace as it is.
In Wrocław I worked with synthesizer loops; later in Tarnów I simply followed what appeared in the moment. The Bulgarian kaval helped me find a direction.

Echoes of Sorrow
The pain has moved to the background, but its echo stayed in the sound.

Transylvanian Fluier
This improvisation began with a simple background tone. I stayed with it and listened until a direction appeared. [...]
The Transylvanian flute I used has its reed placed opposite the finger holes. This setup changes the response of the air and gives the sound a slightly rough edge.
With the lower lip technique, I can bend the pitch and shape the tone closely. It creates a direct, physical connection with the instrument.
