Panic Attack (LP)

Prepared, detuned pianos, quarter-tone string orchestral passages, clicking, anatomically accurate kalimbas, and valihas. Highs only dogs can hear, sub-bass that induce cardiac arrhythmia, a tempo of 140 bpm—five beats per minute faster than the fastest house tracks. Trance-like, hypnotic, dissonant. Acoustic techno.

Music created exclusively from acoustic instruments would be, as the composer himself says, " the kind of techno that I wouldn't be afraid to play for Krzysztof Penderecki."

Even Fryderyk Chopin couldn't avoid the "Panic Attack" and the iconic Prelude in E minor in the film defends itself against the Attack of the film music, leading to a final orgy of dissonance that brought audiences in Gdynia to laughter through tears.
