“String Quartet no.3 derives from a tune sung by Nadia who is looking for her mother. She cannot find her, even though she is looking everywhere. The composition was written in 2019/2020, commissioned by the Royal String Quartet.” – Aleksander Nowak

“String Quartet no.4 written in 2022 was commissioned by the Royal String Quartet and is dedicated to the ensemble.” – Paweł Mykietyn

“The piece Magenta [2021] is a kind of reflection on the historical form of the string quartet. In it we can hear both classical and contemporary playing techniques. Sound samples accompanying the instruments come from a variety of sources and times. For example, we can hear a fragment of Ludwig van Beethoven’s String Quartet no.1, recorded in 1921. All these heterogeneous snippets from different traditions and styles are combined in carefully composed colourful structures. The eponymous ‘magenta’ is both a verbal logotype and one of the basic colours in the synthesis of colours.” – Sławomir Wojciechowski
