Orchestra, soloists, electronics, film and various aspects of spatiality. In Ewa Trębacz’s piece, space is expanded thanks to the oldest texts created by man, and the dimensions of music in ambisonic sound projection. From queer joy (Sara Glojnarić) to music for a silent film exploring the grotesque dimension of excess, social inequality and the objectification of women (Zosha di Castri). From lament and protest against the systemic injustice spreading throughout the world (Idin Samimi Mofakham) to another musical reference to “transparency”—the slow seeping of light from somewhere outside us (Wojtek Blecharz). There is a finale, and in it there is hope.
Co-organiser of the concert: Warsaw Philharmonic
The work "Lament for Ur. Assemblages from the city that is no more" by Ewa Trębacz has been cofinanced by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage’s Culture Promotion Fund, within the Composing Commissions programme, implemented by the National Institute of Music and Dance.

ABOUT AUDIO ART FESTIVAL 2024
"Although, as its name already suggests, the Audio Art festival focuses primarily on sound, it is not the only content of the event held by the Muzyka Centrum Art Society since 1993. Visual elements often play an important role in projects presented here, and the audience’s interest is also aroused by unusual activities that hardly lend themselves to classification.
Through concerts, installations and performances, the invited artists speak out about contemporary problems: migration and war.
This year’s festival events will take place at Hevre, the Academy of Music and the Potocki Palace and will be presented in two blocks (15–17 and 21–24 November)."

Concert for the Change of Time (Times?)
On an October night, when time slows down and we symbolically move towards winter, we invite you to reflect on its passage. We invited Polish composers to co-create a concert that we will listen to while lying on carpets, pillows and under blankets, with a cup of tea or hot chocolate in hand. The concert includes two world premieres by composers Aleksander Kościów and Andrzej Karałow, both exploring the possibilities of a 16-person vocal ensemble, in which each voice is a separate part.
"Inanna Descending" by Ewa Trębacz is a spatial soundscape with an open score and elements of improvisation, realized with the use of various ambisonic techniques. The program is complemented by "instructions" for careful listening and complete relaxation by Mikołaj Laskowski.

***
This collaborative immersive performance brings to life a sound archive based on Ambisonic recordings realized in unique acoustical spaces of historical significance in Washington State. The original sounds were created by Josiah Boothby (French horn), Leanna Keith (flutist) and Ewa Trębacz (violinist and composer), through their improvised sessions in these spaces, recorded and processed by Ewa Trębacz. This initial material become a fragmented archive of sound sources, brought into another abandoned industrial place of significance in the Seattle area - the historic Georgetown Steam Plant.
An archive of sonic fragments is being explored in live performance through the use of room-scale VR, motion capture and positional trackers worn by performers in a 3D environment designed by Laura Luna Castillo, and processed live by composer Daniel Peterson. Movement artist Ashley Menestrina triggers sounds in the virtual space in a dialogue with the musicians, who also activate sounds and create new sound events in real time.

"On a micro level sound originates from motion – i.e. vibrations in a medium – and on a macro level the creation of sound for musical expression usually necessitates some kind of motion on the part of human performers as a catalyst. And although we tend to think of computers as “motionless”, they are actually just as much “in motion” on the microprocessor level as music-making performers on-stage, if not more so. This year’s conference will embrace the many diverse types of sound in motion – micro and macro – that are a part of our computer music universe." |

LINZ, AUSTRIA, Sept. 6-10 2023
September 9, 2023 - Sonic Saturday
“Umbrae” - an Ambisonic soundscape by Ewa Trębacz - was premiered on September 9, 2023 as part of the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, Austria. The concert was the final event of their Sonic Saturday annual symposium, this year titled "Manufacturing Audible Truth" (in response to the festival's theme Who Owns the Truth?). The Symposium took place at the Sonic Lab of the Anton Bruckner Private University in Linz.
The program included mulitchannel compositions by Jakob Gille (DE), Manu Meier (CH), Chin Ting Chan (HK), Ewa Trębacz (PL/US), Tolga Yayalar (TR), and Berk Yagli (CY) - all of them presented with the ABPU's 20.4 surround sound system.
 |
The theme of Ars Electronica in 2023, this year for- mulated as a question, aims directly at key disputed topics of our time: truth and ownership, interpretive authority and sovereignty. Can truth be owned? Is there a right to truth and if it does belong to someone or some institution, what control and responsibility are associated with it? How do we ask ourselves such questions in this age of global interconnectedness and the rapidly developing performance of so-called Artificial Intelligence? In an age, moreover, in which a small number of people, in neo-feudalistic fashion, have usurped the management of collective knowledge, and in which we also have good reason to doubt whether the vision of technology represents the solution to our problems. |
GLISSANDO - March 1, 2023
Sounds from space. About the music of Ewa Trębacz
Article by MACIEJ JABŁOŃSKI
"All Ewa Trębacz's works that I know are characterized by considerable restlessness, which lurks subcutaneously even in fragments devoid of clear movement. From the point of view of form, they are very coherent, homogeneous - the composer usually uses two opposing forms of music: lively and condensed versus quasi-static, calm. Despite the predominance of restless mobility, Ewa Trębacz's music is in fact contemplative."
 |
Ewa Trebacz's Metanoia, concerto for violin, string orchestra and surround sound, has been released on a CD as part of the CD collection Sound Chronicles of the Warsaw Autumn 2020 (CD #3).
The CD also includes works by Paweł Hendrich, Tomasz Skweres, and Przemysław Scheller, with performances by Adam Bałdych (violin) and NFM Leopoldinum Orchestra with Christan Danowicz (conductor). |

The soundscape emerged from our collective hallucinations at the CT3 cooling tower and the reactor building at Satsop Nuclear Plant. We wandered around, improvised, and the spaces responded with their lovely echoes and delays. All of the sounds were recorded, processed and mixed in Ambisonics, the version presented here is a binaural mix. More about this project...

Dear Friends,
As of spring 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has put a global pause on artistic activities.
All of my spring concerts - on both sides of the Atlantic - have been canceled or postponed. This included the premiere of my violin concerto at Musica Polonica Nova Festival in Wrocław with NFM Leopoldinum Orchestra and jazz violinist Adam Bałdych.
I will be posting more information about rescheduling this one, and possibly other concerts.

Ewa Trębacz awarded Listen UP! Music by Women
2018 Artist Grant from Allied Arts Foundation in Seattle
Listen UP! Music by Women: a cross-genre competition for new works by women composers and songwriters, was the first opportunity of its kind in Washington State. Ewa Trębacz was awarded the 2018 grant to support the premiere of her new work Inanna Descending. The piece was premiered on February 28, 2019 at Meany Center for the Performing Arts, Gerlich Theater in Seattle.
Women have been historically and systemically disadvantaged in the fields of music composition and songwriting, often receiving far fewer opportunities and resources to create new musical work than their male peers. Listen UP! Music by Women presented an opportunity for community dialogue, expression and support for the significant female talent in Washington.

September 19th, 2009 - Warsaw
Errai premiered at the 52nd International Festival of Contemporary Music WARSAW AUTUMN.
"Errai" is an audiovisual immersive work by Ewa Trębacz, created in collaboration with Josiah Boothby (French horn), Anna Niedźwiedź (soprano) and Robert Sowa (lighting animation). Stereoscopic animation and Ambisonic soundtrack were realized by Ewa Trębacz at DXARTS, University of Washington, Seattle.
The work is based on encounters of spaces and encounters of artistic personalities, where the entire physical and perceptual space, including the audience, is considered the resonance box of a single instrument. Selected immersive technologies are combined together in an attempt to challenge our perception of the real and the imaginary.
Spaces compete. While the sound fills the entire physical space, and even extends it, the visual layers focus the visual perception at certain moments, events, and selected parts of the time-space. Spaces overlap. Sound and imagery compete for audience attention demanding at times an extreme focus and willingness to stretch the borders of perception.
This engagement is supported by Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation through USArtists International in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Trust for Mutual Understanding.
