Shadow/Reflection by Gordon Kurowski, a.k.a. Aubstraction
Impressionistic Compositions of Minds-eye Paintings, Observations, and Aubstractions.
Starting with random improvised sound, layers were enhanced or diminished to sculpt each resulting track. Both digital and analog tools and instruments were used.
Overcome with insomnia I often worked in the dark and early hours of the morning. The introspective nature of this way of working has led to a collection seeming to be a prelude to a change in my life. Working on these pieces became a haven of solace.
