Kornel Popławski
Composer · Producer · Arranger — Warsaw
Composer working between chamber music, free improvisation, and field recording.
Partly tonal, partly atonal string trios and quartets. Modal piano. Live drum kit and cymbal textures. Field recordings of crowds, halls, factories and birdsong assembled into the score itself. Warm Moog or viola surfacing through the texture. Slow rock chords with deep rhythm sections when a piece needs them. Reference points: Bill Laswell, John Zorn's Filmworks and Bar Kokhba projects, Oliver Coates, Supersilent, David Sylvian's Blemish / Manafon collaborators, Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog, and the experimental wing of ECM.
