A BAG OF MARBLES
In an exploration that bridges music with visual art, composer and multimedia artist Annamaria Kowalsky presents "A Bag of Marbles," a captivating collection of piano miniatures that transcends the boundaries of traditional composition. Each piece is a self-contained universe, a minimalist masterpiece that invites listeners into a reflective, intimate world.
One of the most compelling aspects of "A Bag of Marbles" is its visual counterpart—watercolor paintings personally created by Kowalsky, which are seamlessly blended with digitally crafted marbles. This multimedia approach mirrors the essence of the music itself: both are distilled to their purest forms, offering a concentrated expression of simplicity, precision, and emotional depth.
Recorded in the solitude of her forest home, "A Bag of Marbles" draws inspiration from the natural world, allowing each note to carry a sense of quiet reflection. The album’s creation, a process of deliberate restraint, results in compositions that, while modest in length, resonate with profound intensity and beauty.
Kowalsky’s work pushes the boundaries of contemporary instrumental music, merging sound with visual art to create a cohesive experience that lingers in both the ear and the mind. "A Bag of Marbles" is a testament to her innovative spirit, offering a unique blend of minimalism, artistry, and emotional resonance.
