Dariusz Mazurowski is a Polish electroacoustic music composer, producer and performer born and currently residing in Gdansk. While the majority of his compositional activity has focused on electronic / acousmatic works, he has also composed instrumental music in conjunction with electronics (including music for various sound objects, both acoustic and electronic), audio installations, radiophonic collages and improvised electroacoustic music. His works combine traditional analog instruments with the sonic potential of digital technology and computers, i.e., electronic / synthesized sounds with processed microphone recordings (concrete sounds) and samples. His compositional approach is dynamic in that it involves live electronics and live sound diffusion across multi-speaker systems. During solo concerts, he often combines fixed media with extracted “parts” that he then performs (sometimes improvises) on live electronic devices. Mazurowski is also active as a visual artist (graphics, drawings, photography and video) and as a journalist (publishing texts mainly devoted to contemporary music: history, perspectives, theory, technical aspects and studio technology in such journals as Estrada i Studio, Muzyka21 and Muzyka i Technologia). His professional activities include producing various electroacoustic music concerts and participation in and contribution to several scientific conferences and workshops. Mazurowski’s music has been broadcast by various radio stations all over the world, and he has performed at festivals and other events in Europe, North America, South America and Asia. His installations, visual works and graphics have been exhibited worldwide in numerous galleries.
