''The piece, Ulicami ludzkiego miasta, was inspired by a statement bz Czesław Miłosz, in the volume of ''Nieobjęta ziemia'', about an attempt to capture reality in words. Agata Zubel tries to do the same in sound. This is why her composition combines traditional sounds with those illustrating the sounds of everyday life. Before the composition begins in earnest, some musicians come on stage in succession with loud stomping. In the work we also hear laughter, the sound of a typewriter, imitation horns. The whole works ends with coughing and grunting musicians interrupting the massive crowd of sounds.'' (Ada Ginał-Zwolińska, Sacrum Profanum 2012) ''Inspired by Czesław Miłosz's poetry, the work Ulicami ludzkiego miasta is a sound allegory - not only of the poet's words, but also of daily life. At the opening of the work, footsteps are a stimulus for purely instrumental measures, creating a stream of acoustic phenomena like noise from the street. Zubel indicated this relationship quite clearly; through the use of everyday objects, which - along with traditional instruments they make up a very diverse sonic robe.'' (Maciej Jabłoński, ''Agata Zubel, czyli miłość do dźwięku'', 13.09.2012)
