about

Orchestral composition from 2022, played by the Ostrava New Orchestra, conducted by Petr Kotik.

Adrián Demoč writes:
"The translation of 'Popínavá hudba' into English is problematic: ‘hudba’ means ‘music’, but ‘popínavá’ is a Slovak word referring specifically to the growth of climbing plants, for which there is no English equivalent. ‘Climbing music’ might be alright, except that the piece has nothing whatsoever to do with mountaineering, nor with going up trees, ladders or stairs.

The compositional method was rather simple: listening, again and again, immersion, attention. With humility and open ears. Getting rid of the unnecessary and doing my best to understand what this emerging music is about.

The piece works with a single melodic line (but I wouldn’t dare say the piece is about the melodic line). This line goes back and forth, often taking irregular shapes and curves. To me it resembles a climbing plant, hence the title.

There are a couple of other things here, too: a cluster, a simple but ever-changing shading of the melodic line, and a few sounds I´ve never used before, some of which appeared to me while dreaming.

It’s a privilege to write for the Ostrava New Orchestra. I’m thankful also to the Ostrava Center for the opportunity and trust they have placed in me."
