“The piece, fully named ‘We don’t need other worlds, we need mirrors – Music for Solaris’, marks the 50th anniversary of the original novel Solaris by Stanislaw Lem and is inspired by Andre Tarkovsky’s 1972 film of the same name. Created for 29 string players, 2 percussionists, prepared piano, guitars and electronics, Solaris has its beginnings in both Lem’s original novel and the 1972 film adaptation by Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky. It is a re-imagined soundtrack for a film so still as to become almost absent, a story in sound, and an exploration of an interior cosmos. Integral to the project are a series of “film manipulations” specially created by Brian Eno and Nick Robertson, drawing on moments from the original Tarkovsky film to create a visual parallel to the music of Ben, Daníel and the Sinfonietta Cracovia.”
