Urdoxa by Skowyt Duszy Psa

SKOWYT DUSZY PSA is a project of Lukasz Kozak, a composer and musician from Krakow.

Urdoxa is his second release after self-released Narodziny Nieboraka CD-r.

In this work he attempts to recall the approach and soul of the early experiments of electroacoustic composers.

Hitch-hiking back in time through the history of electronic music with a backpack of knowledge and theory, he uses old masters' techniques to gain his own original sound.

And this works out quite well (which can be easily proved by the recording available here).

Urdoxa - as Kozak describes it himself - is a "composition created with tools of old-school electroacoustics (tape-music) methods.

It started from aleatoric score interpreted 24 times on different instruments (mostly custom ones) and recorded on tapes.

Then, the sound was manipulated using pitch shifting, equalisation and mixed."
