On this DUX CD, there are compositions from five contemporary composers whose paths crossed in Gdańsk. For some of them it was a result of their choice, for others, a natural effect of taking roots. However, all of them link their present and future with the city. Moreover, the CD is also a meeting point of composers’ generations: the experienced authors with considerable output meet the younger ones and sometimes even those who are at the beginning of their creative careers. The essence of the presented project is the variety of attitudes, ideas, creative personalities that form a musical image of the city, with its contemporary and rich face.
