16 Fractals : for 4 ensembles / Adam Lukawski
Author(s):
Lukawski, Adam
(Composer)
Description:
Writing this work, I was inspired with a phenomena of how transitory and partial is our perception of the Universe. As human beings, we are settled in fixed time-frames and spaces, which influences the way we perceive the whole. Even though we look at the same Structure, the point of view always differs and creates a special, unique performances. These, shapes our personalities, which create unique stories of the living beings.
The aim of this work is to imitate this phenomena. I’ve created a small universe consisting of one, infinite graphical structure in the shape of a fractal based on a previously established mathematical principle. The work can be started from any of these 16 elements and each of them creates a different narrative built from the same set of events. During one concert, only one Fractal is performed - this way, the audience is able to listen to only 1 of 16 existing versions of the work, only one of many unique stories possible to create within this small Universe.
