Get to know how he used the Dolby Atmos Technology to dive even deeper into Simeon ten Holt’s vast musical world and experience the beauty of Adam’s version of Canto Ostinato - INFINITY. listen to the album: “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.”/Adam Kośmieja/ Adam Kośmieja Plays “Canto Ostinato“ by Simeon ten Holt - “Canto Ostinato“ Adam Kośmieja - piano Video - Łukasz Kurek Recorded at the CAVATINA HALL in Bielsko-Biała, 22-24 May, 2023 MATEUSZ BANASIUK - MUSIC PRODUCER, EDITOR, MIXER (Stereo/Dolby ATMOS) WOJCIECH KUC - BALANCE ENGINEER PIOTR WILMANOWICZ - TECH ASSISTANT Dolby ATMOS mix made in STUDIO MB PRODUCTION in Warsaw MICHAŁ TWARDY - PIANO TECHNICIAN PIANO - FAZIOLI F-278 All works of SIMEON TEN HOLT are published by DONEMUS, publishing house of contemporary classical music.
