Jagoda Szmytka, sky-me, type-me 
sky-me, type-me is inspired by modern forms of communication and the replacement of face-to-face relationships by email, messaging and Skype. Four megaphone-wielding vocalists bring to life the rhythms of typing, the glitch-ridden resemblances of human speech, the unstable flow of a connection, and the simplification of sentiment when emoticons are more convenient than words. “What is nice is when people perform or listen to this piece and recognize a little piece of the reality they live in,” Jagoda Szmytka says.
 
Christian W. Christensen, Chorale
Chorale is a new piece by composer Christian W. Christensen, inspired by one of his earlier pieces – the ten-year-old Knocking Out From Heavens Door. The work is composed for eight musicians, with two guitars in front, and it has been made specifically for the art ensemble SCENATET. Read more about the piece here. 
 

Matthew Rogers, Weep at the Elastic as it Stretches: An adaptation of N.F. Simpson’s Prayer
The piece Weep at the Elastic as it Stretches: an adaptation of N.F. Simpson’s Prayer by Matthew Rogers is a formal response to a collection of starting points: Medieval codices, modal realism, structures of rhetoric and the quasi-absurdist plays of the late N.F. Simpson. Read more about the piece here.
