Martyna Kosecka - Erēmos (2024)

Erēmos for trumpet, live electronics & string orchestra Project co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland within the programme „Composing Commissions” implemented by the Institute of Music and Dance. Premiere: 15.03.2025, 11th Festival of Premieres of the Newest Polish Music NOSPR, Katowice, Poland Jens Bracher – trumpet Przemysław Pacek - live electronics & patch development AUKSO Chamber Orchestra of the City of Tychy Marek Moś – conductor Erēmos (wasteland, wilderness; Ancient Greek erēmos) for solo trumpet, live electronics, and string orchestra is inspired by various elements that characterize the concept of the bugle call. It attempts to integrate the sounds of the trumpet and string instruments into a landscape where the call, the signal of the solo instrument, becomes a cry for help. The recent events of 2024 in the West Asian region, where missiles are launched across the sky like toys in a tennis match, killing one person as a target and not caring about the thousands dying along the way, pushed me to compose music developed in several phases. The phases of the actual threat – the call to flee, chaos, aggression – and the sections of relief or, I would rather say, desolation, before the threat returns, create complementary, overpowering visions of humanity’s annihilation. Erēmos is not a place to linger. It is deserted, uncultivated, and unfit for habitation. For Ancient Israel, it was a temporary stopover on the way to the Promised Land – a place of testing, learning, and refining. What has it become for us today?
