Gregg Kowalsky

Gregg Kowalsky’s music is a product of experiences around the globe. Raised in South Florida, he worked at a record label in New York City, made and witnessed music in Madrid and Barcelona, studied composition in Oakland, and taught sound design in Los Angeles. His recording career began in the Bay Area, where he studied at Mills College with legendary experimental composers such as Fred Frith and Pauline Oliveros . Over two decades he has composed pieces for large ensembles, film soundtracks, dance performances, and site-specific installations. His work probes the power of electro-acoustic phenomena while simultaneously creating evocative, mesmerizing songs.

Most recently, Kowalsky spent three year years editing analog synth recordings he made in Oakland before moving to Los Angeles, turning them into a bright, blissful new album, 'L’Orange, L’Orange.' Intended as an extension of his earlier solo albums, the record reflects both Kowalsky’s sunny present in Los Angeles and his formative past in Miami, evoking vivid colors and dense atmospheres through welcoming, engaging songs. It’s another fascinating step in Kowalsky’s musical journey, as he continues to build on his past and expand his future.
