Theoretical and Aesthetic approaches to composition â a 2day Workshop with
Zbigniew Karkowski 9th & 10th November 2009
Born in Krakow, Poland, in 1958, Zbigniew Karkowski is one of the most
significant artists working in the field of experimental and contemporary
music.
For the first time in Berlin, he will give a workshop for sound artists,
musicians or composers who are interested in his approach to composition and
live performance on both the technical and formal level. This workshop gives
the participants an opportunity to gain insight into the working methods of
on one of the most challenging composers / performers of electronic music
today.
Karkowski will teach the participants about his aesthetic and conceptual
approaches towards composition through an in depth analysis of some of his
own pieces as well as exploring the compositional concepts that are inherent
to the design of his Max and Super Collider patches. Along these lines
aesthetic approaches towards the use of sound textures, timbres and the
technical aspects of sound production will also be covered and finally he
will share his experiences and ideological beliefs about live performance
and composition.
Karkowski studied composition at the State College of Music in Gothenburg,
Sweden, aesthetics of modern music at the University of Gothenburgâs
Department of Musicology, and computer music at the Chalmers University of
Technology. After the completion of his studies in Sweden, he has studied
sonology for a year at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Den Haag,
Netherlands.
During these years, he attended many summer composition master courses
(Centre Acanthes in France) where he studied with Pierre Boulez, Iannis
Xenakis, Olivier Messiaen, and Georges Aperghis.
He has produced numerous works in the fields of both acoustic and electronic
music and has written 3 pieces for large orchestra, an opera and several
chamber music works. Karkowski was also a founding member of the
