Description:

A composer, musician, sound designer, DJ, physicist and owner of ONO Records, Jan Pienkowski writes and performs music reflecting his diverse background. From his Electroacoustic training and love of World Music comes a mixture of mechanical bleeps, acoustic
spaces and ethnic themes. From his theatre (DIALOG) and dance (A.R.M. with choreographer Nikolas Dixon) experience comes a flair for the dramatic and a feel for intricate rhythms.

Jan’s performances span Canada, U.S., France and Hong Kong. His latest 2005 Shiva project with VJ Nokami has been shown at festivals in Thailand, Germany, UK, Austria, Romania, Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Argentina, USA and Canada, with more countries to be added this year.

Jan has been also very active on the Montreal and Canadian scene with shows at:

Jan is constantly expanding on what it means to be an electronic musician by collaborating with soloists (saxophone, violin, voice), visual artists, painters and dancers. He organises evenings and performs often at SAT, with a range of shows including: the first Technopera (Turandot) with the singers from the Atelier lyrique de l’Opéra de Monréal; Incidents improvisés, blending Schubert and Chopin with electronic structures. He’s also a [MixSessions] regular.
