D. Kowalik

the sound of hopelessness

devastated air density

a voice concealed in an emotional sewer

overwhelming minimalism

Beginning his creative journey in 2012, he has since carved out a distinct niche across a diverse range of projects, including Milczenie, Purulent Circle, 31st, and KĀVE. His output is a blend of proto-dark ambient, drone, and harsh noise, fused with elements of power electronics and black metal.

A high amount of DIY ethos has been central to his creative process from the very beginning. For his solo work, the process is defined by a visceral and tactile approach to creation. It's a sonic exploration forged from a fusion of voice, custom-made controller, guitar pedals, and modular synthesisers. Through these hands-on methods, he brings a personal and physically immediate quality to a world of overwhelming sound.
