Memory of the last winter

Last winter we went with Patryk to the lakes. Two days off everything: our women, children and work. We wandered around, slept in a hidden hut in the middle of a forest.

On the second day we took camera and went for a walk. When we walked out on a frozen lake there was stillness. We talked only about the most important things.

And then the storm started. I just kept my camera on.

Patryk is a great composer and I'm still waiting for his music to come to this miniature. For now, to celebrate the first snow in Poland this season - a piece of Madredeus. I just can't keep this still in my drawer.

Morawski's three works were recently recorded by Monika Wolinska conductiing Sinfonia Varsovia. The three symphonic poems are beautiful, emotional pieces composed some 100 years ago, although they sound very modern and very film-like. They are inspiring and the film consists of interviews interwoven with memory-like images composed to excerpts of the music.
