Tune of the Week: Bogdan Raczynski

Bogdan Raczynksi is a US based electronic musician whose hyperactive and silly personality resounds in his creations. Raczynski is one of the first electronic producers to create music entirely within a computer environment. While ultilzing low bit-rate sample and tracking software, in which one must write code for the music to be played, he creates incredibly intricate compositions. Perhaps to intentionally underscore the very heavy and intense sonic proceedings, Raczynski adds his own vocals which sound as if they were recorded by a child upon its first discovery of the “Record” button on a tape recorder. This goes a long way to making such spastic music more palpable and, perhaps most important of all, FUN.
