“INFINITY” is an album on which Polish pianist Adam Kośmieja shows his individual take on a legendary minimal music masterpiece: “Canto Ostinato” (1976) written by a Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt (1923-2012). Holt wrote music of trance, meditation, and at the same time, filled with very strong emotions, which built culminations based on repetitive musical structures. Its repetitiveness, motoricity and spaciousness go far beyond the realm of a classical piano music performance.
“My vision of Canto Ostinato is very coherent” – Adam says. “Through this musical journey, the listener will experience a lot of sensations - from meditative, flowing and relaxing sounds, through bursts of emotion with romantic harmonies and stability, together with occasional spicy accents and irregular rhythmic energy (which is almost reminiscent of a piece bordering techno at the core of the whole piece), a beautiful melody that reveals itself after a very long time and, repeated, sinks deep into the listener's memory, to be remembered long after its end.”
