Emiter || Jędrzejewski
emiter — electromagnetism of the city is a journey into barely audible areas, electrical discharges, humming fans, shop windows, and cash machines.
Urban reality is hundreds, thousands of devices working at the same time, creating interferences and accumulating sounds. Electricity has in a sense become the “skin” of the 21st-century city. It is difficult in daily life to identify these phenomena aurally, because these sounds resemble a cloud that spreads over the city, creating a sonic everyday existence. Contemporary technology meets these explorations — the geophone, a device for recording electric fields, and the hydrophone for underwater recordings are tools for a “sonic journey” through the city’s meanderings, drawing from thousands of sounds those most essential, connected to a place and its transformations. ~ Marcin Dymiter
The world premiere of the piece “NEXT GEN?” will be preceded by a meeting/discussion initiated by the composer/performer: “CHANCE OR NECESSITY? What today determines creative processes in the field of music, its contemporary performance practice, and performative presentation.” All interested parties are invited to actively participate and interact.

Album premiere — October 2025
Robert Jędrzejewski — An intuitive artist, creative improviser, cellist, composer, and music theorist.
For many years he was primarily engaged in investigating how truly free and maximally pure improvisation can become the basic creative method in the highly dynamic performative sphere of the contemporary world. He examined and tested what elements are the main driving forces of this type of practice and how a person behaves in these interactive conditions.
He studied cello and composition at the Academy of Music in Kraków. He developed his skills at courses in contemporary, electronic, and computer music performance, composition, and improvisation at IRCAM in Avignon (Jonathan Harvey, Ivan Fedele, Anssi Karttunen, Walter Grimmer), in Kraków (Marek Chołoniewski, Krzysztof Knittel), Stuttgart (Lidia Zielińska, Matthias Hermann), Ostrava (George E. Lewis, Jennifer Walshe), Gdańsk (Elżbieta Sikora, Adam Kaczyński), New York (Wadada Leo Smith), St. John’s (Ajay Heble, Eric Lewis, William Parker), Big Indian (Karl Berger, Henry Threadgill), Prague (Joëlle Léandre, Pauline Oliveros), and Berlin (Barre Phillips, Edwin Prévost). In 2020 he received the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw.
He has been a scholarship recipient from the Płock Foundation and the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, and a beneficiary of the Kolekcje — Compositional Commissions programme of the Institute of Music and Dance. He is a laureate of the Art of Improvisation festival in Wrocław. He has collaborated with Teatr Performer, the Medea Electronique Collective, Teatr Limen Butoh, and Teatr Akt. He co-created Saluluekip and Modular String Trio. He initiated the conference NOWY SENS MUZYKI: Composer — Improviser — Performer at UMFC and Art Fest WAWA’LULU at the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art in Warsaw.
He has numerous artistic presentations and collaborations to his name in Poland (Warszawska Jesień, Audio Art, Ad Libitum, Fortalicje, Sacrum Profanum, Intuitiva, Musica Privata, Mózg Festival) and also in Europe, the USA, Canada, and Singapore.
