Dominik Karski

(*1972)

Composer; studied in Perth and Brisbane, divides his time between Poland and Australia. In his composing efforts Karski ventures to reach the core of the inner structure of the musical language, exploring the relation between the musician and their instrument. This primeval, fluid aspect of musicality – the physicality of sound extraction – allows Karski to attain new sound and emotional qualities. (AM)
