ning (1991) for oboe/cor anglais, violin, viola and cello. The title and concept behind the piece comes from David Grossman’s novel «see under: love», in which he among other things describes a man who joins a school of salmon on its way through the oceans. He swims, eats and sleeps together with them, and gradually he understands the forces that make this large group of fish swim almost as one body. One of these forces is a cohesive, joining force which Grossman calls ning. In my oboe quartet, the four instruments act very much like fish or birds in a group, sometimes moving fast and close to eachother, with one clear direction, then all of a sudden the group dissolves to four separate individuals, finding their own paths within a wider area, but still dependent on oneanother. Ning is the fourth in a series of pieces where I use socalled fractal mathematics or chaos theory in the prosess of composition.
ning (1991) for obo/engelsk horn, fiolin, bratsj og cello. Tittelen og konseptet bak stykket er hentet fra David Grossman's roman "se: kjærlighet". I ett av kapitlene forteller han om en mann som følger med en stim av laks på dens vei gjennom havene. Han svømmer, spiser og sover sammen med dem, og etterhvert forstår han kreftene som gjør det mulig for denne store flokken av fisk å bevege seg nesten som ett individ. En av disse kreftene er en samlende kraft som Grossman kaller ning. I min obokvartett oppfører de fire instrumentene seg svært likt en fiskestim eller fugleflokk: til tider beveger de seg raskt og tett sammen, med én klar retning, så plutselig oppløser flokken seg og blir til 4 forskjellige individer som beveger seg over et større område, men stadig forbundet til hverandre. Ning er det fjerde i en serie stykker der jeg bruker såkalt fraktalmatematikk eller kaosteori i komposisjonsprosessen.

Composed in the summer of 2005, it is a study of the multilayered structure of temporal planes, of their interrelations and interpenetration. These time layers unfold sequentially or simultaneously, sometimes – playing with the listener, taking advantage of the ambivalent nature of reception.

Joseph Conrad's complete works in Polish may be downloaded from the Internet, and read on a minuscule pda. Electronic Conrad for the people fly to exotic vacation. Conrad: timeless and old-fashioned. He was a great writer, final stop: thousands and thousands of pages on moral dilemmas and choices, thousand of suggestive depictions on the anxious beauty of the oceans. But also a shocking lack of proportion, at least for me as a reader, when Conrad's ships approach the coast, a terrible lack of political correctness, and a total lack of curiosity of the world.
Europocentric criteria and judgments. The twilight of 'drowing room anthropology'. I have switched off the potentiometers of Conrad's ships and crew, and try to hearing what Conrad himself deemed uninteresting, although it must have been audible then - and ist lost today. The traces of this hearing are included in the 11-minute nocturne Conrad's Seven Islands. But there is so much more in Bronislaw Malinowski's Diary, and even in the short stories of William Somerset Maugham. (the note by Lidia Zielinska, from the 2007 ‘Warsaw Autumn’ programme book)
