In the early years of his activity as a composer, Jacek Domagała was strongly influenced by his interest in J.S. Bach and in jazz music.
The second stage of Jacek Domagała’s artistic development owes much to the Second Viennese School (Schönberg, Berg, Webern), which had a powerful impact on the composer’s musical language and the technique that he himself calls “neoserialism”.
Contact with the Viennese modernist tradition had not only led to an evolution of Domagała’s musical language, but also – and most importantly – influenced his way of building musical narration and the type of expression, rooted in post-Romantic sound concepts.
Currently, the composer is interested in program music inspired by paintings and important events in the history of the world.
