Neal Markowski is a composer, musician and sound artist living and working in Chicago, IL. His work tends to use instruments and recording devices in ways that they aren’t always meant to be used. Then again, maybe they are supposed to be used like that? He’s also a big fan of various kinds of magnetic tape as well as records – both of which feature heavily in his installations and recorded output. When not wrapping cables, accidentally buying records off of eBay, or trying to find a replacement for Hot Doug’s, he’s usually making sounds, looking for sounds, or trying to find the best way to capture a sound.
