Od Óneiros do Hablika – o wolności tworzenia w refleksji kompozytorskie
This paper discusses the subject of the composer’s identity and freedom of creating today. One hundred years of independence changed mentality and sensibility of the nation. During this period, many events happened and reality, which is changing constantly and dynamically, transforms our way of feeling, reasoning and approach to creating. How do we perceive artistic activity today at the beginning of the new century of independence? How we see our identity as creators and researchers of music? How we define and feel ar-tistic freedom now? The above aspects constitute the main area of interest in my research directed to the current situation in music and composers’ motivations to create music today. I was wondering what composers think and how they relate their creative activeness to the categories of artistic freedom, identity and inspirations. I chose general aspects of the topic and accepted them as the basis for research. Then I formulated questions based on them and posed to composers. I decided to ask selected representatives of the young generation of composers, who grew on the threshold of free Poland in the early 90s. The questions were as follows: what is our reaction to changes in reality and awareness of these changes in creation, how we think today in the post digital and highly performative reality? How we experience its impact on the artistic process? What we are looking for, whether the slogan “everything has already been discovered” still makes sense? What affects us the most, what is the motivator for our artistic activity? Direct conversations brought an interesting result. One of them, concerning the composer’s activity of Dariusz Przybylski, I present in the following paper.
