"Najkrajšia vec na svete je, keď sa človek pozrie pravde do očí."   Milan Adamčiak

Cluster ensemble, a collective of outstanding Slovak musicians, has prepared for this project a selection of scores from the new book Archív III (NÔTY)/notácie a grafické partitúry [Archive III (NÔTY)/notations and graphic scores, edited by Michal Murin].
Besides “classical” instruments such as the clarinet, piano and cornet Cluster Ensemble also uses computer with own custom-programmed software and analogue synthesizer, with the aim to push the boundaries of classical music interpretation.
