The Polish Radio Experimental Studio, founded in 1957, was as an experimental centre and a production unit of the Polish Radio but it has been mainly known as one of the most import_ant creative centres in Europe. In the 1960s and 1970s, the Warsaw centre hosted numerous guests from abroad including almost all of the most distinguished epresentatives of the art of electro-acoustic music: Lejaren Hiller, Franco Evangelisti, François-Bernard Mâche, Vittorio Gelmetti, Roland Kayn, Christian Clozier, Tamas Ungvary, Nigel Osborne, Stephen Montague, Bengt Emil Johnson, KÃ¥re Kolberg and Arne Nordheim. Nordheim often visited “the black room” on Malczewskiego street where the main production space of the Experimental Studio was located. The emotional bond with his Polish friends was as import_ant to him as music. There were many private meetings with Józef Patkowski, Witold Lutos³awski and W³odzimierz Kotoñski. The composer’s relations with engineers were also more than professional. After flying from Oslo to Warsaw, Nordheim went from the Okêcie airport straight to the hospitable home of the Rudnik family and “ritually” consumed his favourite Polish dish: white borsch with sausage. Already at the dinner table, the composer discussed with Rudnik their tactics of planned technological and artistic activities . Then, subsequent Nordheim’s compositions were born during long hours spent together on Malczewskiego...
Za³o¿one w 1957 roku, Studio Eksperymentalne Polskiego Radia by³o placówk± do¶wiadczaln±, jednostk± produkcyjn± polskiej radiofonii, ale w historii zapisa³o siê przede wszystkim jako o¶rodek twórczy o znaczeniu europejskim. W¶ród wielu zagranicznych go¶ci warszawskiego o¶rodka w latach 60 i 70 znalaz³a siê niemal ca³a ¶wiatowa czo³ówka sztuki elektroakustycznej, m in.: Lejaren Hiller, Franco Evangelisti, François-Bernard Mâche, Vittorio Gelmetti, Roland Kayn, Christian Closier, Tamas Ungvary, Nigel Osborne, Stephen Montague, Bengt Emil Johnson, KÃ¥re Kolberg i Arne Nordheim. Nordheim by³ czêstym go¶ciem „czarnego pokoju” przy ul. Malczewskiego, czyli g³ównego pomieszczenia produkcyjnego Studia Eksperymentalnego. Równie wa¿ne, co muzyka, by³a wiê¼ emocjonalna z polskimi przyjació³mi. Czêsto dochodzi³o do prywatnych spotkañ z Józefem Patkowskim, tak¿e z Witoldem Lutos³awskim i W³odzimierzem Kotoñskim. Praca z realizatorami tak¿e wykracza³a poza jego obrêb. Po locie Oslo-Warszawa, prosto z Okêcia Nordheim pod±¿a³ do go¶cinnego domu Rudników i spo¿ywa³ „rytualnie” swój ulubiony polski posi³ek - bia³y barszcz z kie³bas±. Ju¿ przy stole uzgadniali z Rudnikiem taktykê dzia³añ technologiczno-artystycznych. Potem w mozole d³ugich godzin na Malczewskiego rodzi³y siê minuty kolejnych kompozycji Norwega...
