Aleksander Kościów

(*1974)

Composer and writer who, in his own words, successfully operates in the iridescent universe of music and literature. To an extent, Kościów’s musical output is a semantic parallel of the verbal world: propelled by narration, turns of events, rhetoric, and word-play. His multidimensional soundscapes are filled with the aura of mystery and subtlety, and yet each of them carries its own suggestive message, both aesthetic and ideological. (AM)
