On the 7^th of May, 2024 at 7 p.m. in the Hashtag Lab we will hear electronic works by two Polish composers experimenting with concrete music: "Random Memory Grains" by Dariusz Mazurowski and "Polyend Tracker" by Jacek Sotomski.

Dariusz Mazurowski will present a new version of his composition, adding improvised interludes.

Jacek Sotomski will create a multi-threaded, approximately hour-long track live - similar to DJ sets - on the title Tracker by Polyend. The device was used at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s. Each set will be unique and one-off thanks to the semi-improvised nature of the entire performance
