Anna Sowa: smar II

for double bass, electric guitar and electronics

(2021)

In order not to unnecessarily affect the perception of the audience, I will limit myself to two sentences describing the piece.

”smar“ is a polish word for grease (lubricant)–a thick substance similar to oil, used on machine parts for making them work smoothly.

The intended purpose of the piece is to explore capabilities of creating similar flow beetwen electronics, double bass and guitar parts.
