PAWALSKI

To understand how much force a building can withstand, engineers build scale models and simulate earthquakes on shake tables. Pawalski approaches his compositions the same way. He pushes sound to its breaking point, searching for the outer edge where music still holds together before tipping into chaos.

Simula is made of compositions that have been pressured into collapse, then rebuilt from sonic materials gathered from the overlooked fringes of electronic music history. The result is a set of tracks engineered to withstand the shifting tensions of introspective listening — moments where structure and sensation are held in delicate balance.
