Krzysztof
Komendarek-Tymendorf

A total fanatic and fervent advocate for the viola, he explores all the nuances of this unique instrument, expanding its spectrum from Baroque to electronic and contemporary music. He pairs himself with the latest effects, becoming a dedicated explorer of undiscovered sounds, improvisations, and compositions.

He creates music using innovative, contemporary performance techniques such as tapping, Bartók pizzicato, string plucking, hair-string pressing, scordatura, dirty glissando, slow-motion bowing, extreme sul ponticello scratchiness, shutter effects, noisy shifts, electric slides, scratch tones, preparation, arpeggios, tremolos, flageolets, and more.

He strives to showcase to the world the expansive universe of the viola. He is the originator and ambassador of the international social campaigns ReVIOLAtion and Save the Music.
