Ombrarchetto (2003) for tape. The piece was composed for the 30th anniversary of the Electroacoustic Music Studio of the Academy of Music in Krakow. The composition has close reference to Ombraggio for violin and electroacoustic track. I am very gratefull to Kaja Danczowska and Andrzej Bauer for giving the sound material, which were the inspiration for the piece.
