Music

As a composer, Adam Borecki strives to create a energetic sound world through the combination of classical forms with the vibrance of techniques and style from electronic dance music.

Chorus - Caprice on an Etude of Carcassi

Completed in April, 2011
For 3 Guitars
c. 5 minutes

This quirky composition, based on one of Carcassi's common guitar studies, is in a Theme and Variations form. This short etude is slowly transformed through different styles and various levels of complexity, ultimately culminating in a contrapuntal fugue.

Chorus is based on the idea of the electroacoustic effect of a "Chorus", in which a note is given a new timbre by creating detuned pitches around the fundamental pitch. In this composition, this technique manifests itself both discretely (namely through the use of minor 2nd dissonances) as well as continuously (in the use of an indeterminate, microtonal scordatura in the conclusion of the work).

String Quartet

Completed in October, 2010
For String Quartet
c. 7 minutes

Under Cover

Completed in August, 2010
For 2 Pianos
c. 5 minutes

Under Cover is a work for two pianos that juxtaposes layers of compositional transparency.

This piece derives its pitch material from a single theme, which only surfaces in competition with extended technique, through a process of re-harmonization, or by means of rhythmic manipulation.
