| Dominik Karski is a composer whose music is essentially focused on the search for new sound-structures and musical experiences through the exploration of the physicality of performance. His approach is directed at the quality of sound itself, through the focus on the player-instrument relationship as the primary source of the musical substance.
The material is established through the idea of synthesis of independent elements: rather than pre-designing the form, it is gradually uncovered through the interactions between the combined elements from one moment to the next.
The resulting musical processes are generally unpredictable - as the element of surprise plays a vital role during the flow of sound - but also coherent, as the sound-qualities evolve in a somewhat organic manner.
The fundamental purpose in his work is to learn about the source of the energy that sets events in motion.
