Martin Smolka

“Eventually, after three years of dreaming and half a year of intensive work, Semplice turned out amazingly well: it's a long piece, it was played superbly to a concert hall full of experts and connoisseurs – I have something to be happy about. But in fact it was not at all what I had been wanting to aim for in the beginning and what had attracted me then. Instead of visionary monumentality it was more about delicate colour shades and subjective lyricism.”
