"Paweł Mykietyn became known in Poland for his promising chamber music compositions written for his own ensemble Nonstrom during his student years. His brilliant career started to develop really fast when in the course of a few months he managed to conquer Europe and won contests organised for composers under thirty. Thanks to the success of 3 for 13 (Paris, 1995) and Epiphora for piano and tape (Amsterdam, 1996) the young composer's name started to be mentioned next to such prominent figures as Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, Krzysztof Penderecki or Paweł Szymański. While listening to them for the first time, the compositions compiled on this record (though, surprisingly, it is just the first monographic album of the artist!) make an impression as if they were created by two different authors; as if the composer who crafted 3 for 13 and Shakespeare's Sonnets was another person than the author of Ładnienie and Sonata for cello. Mykietyn's artistic work, not to mention numerous juvenilia, can so far be divided into two phases: the post-modernist phase (which is possible to accept after having adopted the necessary distance approach to the comprehensive term "postmodernism") and the microtone phase which began around 2004".
