Emil Bernard Wojtacki

(*1981)

Composer, editor and publisher. His oeuvre is mainly preoccupied with aesthetic issues, among others the problem of the ontology of composition. Wojtacki devotes his efforts to textural experiments which he conducts within the scope of the modern counterpoint and multilayered narration. His numerous vocal and instrumental compositions strive for a maximum unity between music and words, and towards the imaging of text in music. Another important feature of Wojtacki’s works is silence. (KS)
