Maps and Mazes collects a series of works originally composed for film, theatre and dance.
Amazingly, their disparate origins are obscured on this release, which flows beautifully as a single set. Credit the track listing, which finds exactly the right place for the violin and piano pieces, the gentle ambience and the moody scene setters. The decision to open and close with mournful brass is wise, as it unifies the project, providing it with defined brackets.
It’s no coincidence that puzzle pieces are included in the artwork, as “Melting Into Unknown” was composed for the dance performance Puz/zle; the puzzle serves as a perfect metaphor for the track sequencing, as well as for the performer herself.
This attention to detail continues with the title.
Maps and Mazes suggests both mystery and discovery: deep secrets and an invitation.
Follow the map, and one may emerge intact. Visit the minotaur, but bring a ball of string. If Wojciechowska’s music could be summed up in a single word, it would be depth. Even after frequent plays, there’s always another layer beneath the surface, another surprise behind the door. (...)

The artist has been building an impressive body of work over the past few years, and in a sense, Maps and Mazes is a coming out party. As humble composer enhancing larger productions with eloquent grace, Wojciechowska has been operating under the radar, but she deserves to be on a greater map.
