“Emilia Gołos looks inside the instrument, explores its nooks and crannies, following the path set more than eight decades ago by John Cage. Preparing the piano was only the first step for her, she has been expanding the piano’s phonosphere for years, exploring its interior.”

“She plays free jazz, but her piano technique also incorporates elements of contemporary classical music. Pointillistic single tones, revolving motifs, and questioning, ascending melodic phrases are part of her toolkit. Her jazz doesn’t swing — it paints with colors.”
