MMM Martyna's MiniMoog

This is an open project in which the giant instrument of the 1970s was invited to the salons of classical contemporary music: the Minimoog Model D synthesizer. Once an icon of jazz, pop, pop-rock and electronic music, today a retro-guest in the hands of pianist Martyna Zakrzewska and composers: Lena Michajłów, Andrzej Karałow, Oktavia Pączkowska, Jacek Sotomsky.

In recent years, analog synthesizers are increasingly used in contemporary music — their first songs on Minimoog were written by Sarah Nemtsov, Eivind Buene and Daria Maminova, among others. MMM is in many ways experimental in nature, and the salons mentioned are not just a metaphor. Due to the availability of the instrument for the last 6 months, the studio in Martyna's private apartment was an open workspace for composers. There was a lot of conversation, exchange of experiences, coffees, teas and joint twirling of branches.

HertEt

The ensemble was created on the initiative of three experienced instrumentalists: violinist Anna Kwiatkowska, drummer Magdalena Kordylasińska-Pękala and pianist Martyna Zakrzewska. The female artists known for their activities in other formations (Flow Unit, Kwadrofonik, Chain Ensemble) have combined musical potentials to form a female trio. HerTet officially debuted at the Futurofonia 2026 festival. The band bases its activity on the idea of sisterhood, solidarity and equality in the creative process. Its goal is to support the presence of women in the world of music and art by increasing the visibility and activity of women artists on the contemporary scene. The team's activities are conscious and long-term — they focus on building a space for cooperation, exchange of experiences and mutual support between creators of different generations.

A concert-installation-performance will take place in Hevre. All these elements will be found in the music, which in the case of Jarek Płonka (jarek's dream sequence) and Anna Sowa (voice within) was created in 2026 with HERTEC in mind. Ania addresses the topic of our relationship with inner speech, while Jarek explores the memories of dreams, dressing them in literary contexts. And Sarah Nemtsov's Pulsation, in which we all gather at the gran casa to listen to the beating of our own heart.
