Stanisław Krupowicz,
composer, born on 25th November 1952 in Grodno. In 1971-76, he studied at the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics of Warsaw University. In 1975-81 he studied composition with Tadeusz Baird and Włodzimierz Kotoński at the State Higher School of Music (now the Music Academy in Warsaw), from which he graduated with honours. He participated in summer courses for composers in Bayreuth (1979) and Darmstadt (1982). In 1982-84 he participated in the activity of the Independent Studio of Electroacoustic Music. He received a Fulbright Foundation grant to study composition and computer music under John Chowning and Leland Smith in the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics at Stanford University, California (1983-84). In 1986 he received Prix-de-Paris – a Stanford University grant for the composition of a work at the Institut de Recherche et de Coordination Acoustique/Musique. In 1989 he was awarded a fellowship of the Barbara Piasecka-Johnson Foundation and Stanford University for a study of the Stradivarius violin. In the same year he was awarded the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in composition from Stanford University. In 1991-92 he was a Leverhulme Post-doctoral Fellowship holder. Stanisław Krupowicz has received prizes at numerous competitions for composers, including in 1981 – 2nd prize in the Young Composers' Competition of the Polish Composers' Union for Tempo 72 for amplified harpsichord and strings (1981); in 1985 – 2nd prize in the International Computer Music Competition NEWCOMP in Boston for Tako rzecze Bosch [Thus Spake Bosch] for tape (1985); in 1987 – an honourable mention in the 8th Irino Prize International Competition in Tokyo for Wariacje pożegnalne na temat Mozarta [Farewell Variations on a Theme by Mozart] for amplified string quartet and tape (1986). He twice received the Alexander Borodin Foundation Award – in 1989 for Tylko Beatrycze [Only Beatrice] for amplified string quartet and tape (1988) and in 1990 for Tako rzecze Bosch [Thus Spake Bosch] for tape (1985). In 1994 his composition Fin de siècle for orchestra (1993) received a recomendation of the International Rostrum of Composers in Paris. His compositions have been performed in many countries of Europe, Asia and both Americas. Member of the "Warsaw Autumn" Repertoire Committee in 1993-96; co-founder and in 1998-2000, president of the Friends of the Warsaw Autumn Foundation. In 2005, he was also one of the initiators of the "Musica Electronica Nova" Festival in Wrocław, of which he was the first artistic director. He teaches composition and computer music at the Academy of Music in Wrocław. He is also the head of the Academy’s Computer Composition Studio, which he initiated and organised. In 2013 he was granted the academic title of Professor of Musical Arts. worksThe character of Stanisław Krupowicz’s music has been determined to a large extent by his interest in mathematics and computers, which he earlier pursued at Warsaw University during his studies at the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics. After the completion of these studies in 1976, he studied composition at the State Higher School of Music with Włodzimierz Kotoński, the master and pioneer of Polish electroacoustic composition. Krupowicz continued his work on computer music in the Center for Computer Resarch in Music and Acoustics at Stanford University, California, first as a postgraduate student with a Fulbright grant, later – as assistant researcher. |
