Work introduction
This score has received a Special Mention at the 3rd. International Composition Competition "Maurice Ravel" 2018.
The inspirations for this composition were prehistoric cave paintings. In the spaces of rocks and caves,
stories about people from the ancient past are captured in amazing paintings. All you have to do is watch.
Watch and listen to the wonderful and strange echoes of a time when these caves were the temples of men.
Another stimulus is the poem by Vl. Holan " Paleostom bezjazy“. It is an onomatopoeic prayer of a stone.
An echo of human lives through the perspective of boulders, rocks, stones and caves. From the time when men and stones listened to each other.
