Record Release Roger Döring & Konrad Korabiewski
Komplex, release concert
Roger Döring (de)
(clarinet, saxofon, bariton, accordion and more)
& Konrad Korabiewski (pl/dk/is/de)
(live electronics)
Komplex is a forthcoming vinyl album by Roger Döring (Dictaphone/Moser/Meyer/Döring) and the award-winning multimedia artist Konrad Korabiewski, released by the German sound art label Gruenrekorder.
The project was created over two years in Seyðisfjörður, Iceland and in Berlin, and is an evolving conversation between Döring's improvisation on acoustic instruments such as clarinet, trombone, and saxophones, Korabiewski's electronic live treatment and composition of Döring's sound, and the particular acoustics of the recordings sites, which included a former herring factory by the sea in east Iceland. Musically Komplex moves seamlessly between ethereal ambient melodies or a somber, churning low end, or a hypnotic looping reverie that slowly disintegrates as if under the burr and scratch of a gramophone needle. The result is a highly expressive, dark, and deeply felt album, reflective of shifting emotional states and uneasy dreams from the north.
In concert, Döring and Korabiewski deepen their musical dialogue, using live electronics to treat and highlight the physicality of acoustic improvisations on clarinet, saxophone, and accordion.

video:
Icelandic fimartist Kristján Loðmfjörð created a video work for the composition Flucht from the new album by Roger Döring & Konrad Korabiewski titled Komplex . A signature meditation on the grain of the far northern landscape as counterpart to the grain of Döring's horn.
Bio Konrad Korabiewski:
Polish | Danish | Iceladic Konrad Korabiewski (1978), is s an award-winning multimedia artist, currently in the Berliner Künstlerprogramm des DAAD residency.
As a sound-artist, composer and media artist, Konrad Korabiewski has a minimalist, yet detail-oriented unconventional and experimental artistic approach, characterized by a marked tendency to transgress various genres and media.
Focused on absorption, content and substance of art rather than a certain media, he experiments and develops new possibilities for sensing and expressing philosophical views and artistic ideologies. This is also highly visible at Korabiewskis live performances, where he involves other actors and medias to add layers and new dimensions to his music, sound and radio art pieces, installations and videoworks. As with his pioneering and prize awarded crossover, interactive art-book project Affected As Only A Human Being Can Be (2010) with the mixed media artist Litten.
Konrad Korabiewski is a founder and currently director of Skálar – Centre for Sound Art and Experimental Music in Iceland, and he holds a Master degree in Electronic Music Composition from The Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus, Denmark.
