"The work of Piotr Salaber focuses on two types of music: theater music (over a hundred and twenty theater productions) and songs for children (more than 100 songs, the musical). Other compositions (about 10), for choir, soloists, electronic media, and orchestra. The characteristic of the work of Salaber is combining sounds of traditional instruments (including folk instruments from different regions of the world) with electronic sounds. Of great importance for the composer is also the problem of surround sound and taking into account the principles of perception in creating and shaping the tension in the composition. "[3]
