for soprano and strings quartet
2000

A cycle attesting to the composer's tendency towards a paradoxical combination of different artistic approacheses. Each of the five pieces brings to mind a certain genre or style (dance, children movies music, pop and rock music etc.) while, at the same time, allowing outside elements to penetrate it and distort it to some extent, thus placing the piece “near” that genre as if it was a personal homage to it. The five pieces in this cycle are very different in terms of content, text, language and musical style, and combine to create a whole of edges. Each piece is dedicated to a special figure in the composer's life: “My Fog” is dedicated to the American musician Tom Waits, “Sarabanda” is a wordless personal dedication, “In the Mirror” is dedicated to Sting, “I love my Zoo” the composer dedicateds to his parrot and dog and “Dance of Sun” is dedicated to the singer Ania.
