Robert Piotrowicz

Robert Piotrowicz is a Polish composer, improviser, and sound artist. His work spans a broad range of electroacoustic and experimental music, frequently blending acoustic elements with electronics. Advanced modular synthesizers serve as a central tool in his practice, enabling him to create unique, often microtonal sound structures.

His albums—such as Lincoln Sea, Afterlife, and When Snakeboy Is Dying—feature electronic soundscapes combined with acoustic instrumentation, while works like Lasting Clinamen and Euzebio highlight his conceptual approach to sound, balancing between immersive drones and dreamlike minimalism. Influenced by both the Polish avant-garde tradition and contemporary artistic practices, Piotrowicz continually redefines established musical conventions.

Piotrowicz has collaborated with performing ensembles such as Phoenix Ensemble and Apartment House, and he has composed music for films and television programs. His extensive live appearances include performances at festivals in almost 40 countries—among them Unsound, SONAR, CTM, Aural Festival, LUFF, and What Is Music. He was also a co-founder and curator of the Musica Genera festival and label.
