Re-Patched is an international collaborative project aimed at rediscovering the legacy of progressive Polish composer Bogusław Schaeffer. The RE-PATCHED concerts focused on Schaeffer’s open scores, presenting legendary works like the NonStop graphic score, which allows for free interpretation and improvisation, becoming a constantly evolving piece where the boundaries of musical and visual art blur. In addition to Bogusław Schaeffer’s compositions, works composed by members of the RE-Patched ensemble were also performed, paying tribute to the Polish composer.
