Unlike the piano, each note of the unacorda has one string. This sound is ethereal. It’s hard to understand it’s clear sound in musical textures with many notes, so unacorda is really suitable for performing music with fewer voices in particular. With my improvised etudes I tried to adapt to this property of the instrument. In my pieces I tried to create strict rules based on geometrical musical shapes and symmetries, and then I tried to play with these spontaneously. In addition to the small number of voices, the etudes are characterized by polymodality – the simultaneous sound of several modalities.
