Nie ja. Kompozytorska refleksja o tożsamości w kontekście przemian ekonomicznych doby cyfrowej
Not I. Composer’s Thoughts on Identity in the Context of Economic Changes of the Digital Age

Summary/Abstract: Th is analysis of Agata Zubel’s Not I brings to the fore the problem of the identity of the composer who is also the first and the model performer of her works. In the words of Not I written by Samuel Beckett that mean the negation of the first grammatical person sung by Zubel-performer tell the thoughts of Zubel-composer, who symbolically rejects reducing they creative output to he performing skills. Th e tension between the roles of the composer and the performer can be explained by the pressure from the new music market focused on the performance. Th e functioning of that market can be described in the terms of superstar economy. Although the long tail theory have predicted that digitalisation of the music market would result in the reduction of the superstar effect strengthening the position of other actors, new empirical data show that the digital market is heading in the opposite direction, making the difference between superstars and the others even bigger.
