Featured on Polskie Radio Dwójka: Host Ewa Szczecińska explores Katarzyna Głowicka’s latest album “Deep Down”—intimate electronic miniatures wrapped in autumn mist and introspection.
In the “Nowa Polska” (New Poland) series—a program dedicated to the most important works of Polish contemporary music from the last three decades—composer Katarzyna Głowicka discusses her newest album released under the pseudonym Glou, and her lifelong journey with electronic music.
About “Deep Down”

Why This Matters
The feature on Polskie Radio—Poland’s national public broadcaster—highlights Głowicka’s dual identity as both an opera composer tackling urgent social issues and an electronic music artist creating introspective, personal works. Her ability to move between the intimate world of ambient electronics and the monumental space of socially engaged opera demonstrates the breadth of her artistic vision.
The “Nowa Polska” series places contemporary Polish composers in conversation with their work, documenting the evolution of Polish music since 1989. Głowicka’s inclusion underscores her significance in Poland’s contemporary music landscape.
