about

An introduction to my experimental ambient project Kowalski Room.
You can find much more at kowalskiroom.bandcamp.com

My music tends to sound expansive. Over the past few years, I have been exploring minimalism. I've been looking at ways to use fewer ingredients and seeing just how little I can use and still create an interesting and pleasing piece of music.

In the summer of 2017, I begin experimenting with phasing, a technique used by Steve Reich in his piece 'It's Gonna Rain'. I don't have access to two reel to reel tapes recorders so my experiment were purely digital and used a range of techniques similar but not quite the same as the ones used by Steve Reich.

I start with a short clip - music, field recordings or found sounds - and loop it. It is usually something quite simple but with some interesting colours. I play a second loop of the same thing over the top but slightly out of sync. The two layers of the same sound then interact and create new atmospheres, rhythms and motifs. I find it mesmerising. It means that a short clip, sometimes only a few seconds in length, can become a very long piece of experimental ambient music.

At first, I did not reveal who was making this music. I felt my identity might come with preconceptions about what the music should be. While most of this is ambient, some is much more experimental - looping barely heard conversations, layers of a delivery truck reversing or the sound of water rolling along the side of a lake. I wanted to be free to experiment.

Now I feel like Kowalski Room has its own identity, I am happy to reveal who has been squirreling away, making this music.

I'm really proud of this project. It is the kind of music I need to create. I hope you enjoy it too. There is plenty more to come.

I have no plans to post any other Kowalski Room music here, so if you enjoy what you hear, you can find more at kowalskiroom.bandcamp.com and kowalskiroom.com
