The work Cantico delle creature was born from the author's fascination with the possibilities of constructing unconventional musical instruments using ceramic techniques. The project Akademia Dźwięków Ziemi, associated with the Ceramics Workshop of the Department of Sculpture of the Institute of Art of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Silesia, became the inspiration for creating a composition in which clay instruments take a central place.

Ceramic instruments, being a medium connecting the spirit of ancient times with the current view of the world of sounds, refer to the themes of the elements and content related to creation, sung by St. Francis. Their unique sound adds a unique character to the composition, creating a bridge between tradition and modernity.
