About PURGIST
Dawid Kowalski (born 1986 in Kielce, Poland) has been an active member of the Polish underground music community since 2005. Over the years, he has been actively performing, organizing and co-organizing live music events, releasing music and documenting the scene via electronic and traditional media outlets. As an art activist and promoter, Kowalski has started an online community for radical music enthusiasts currently known as harshnoise.org which begun as a web forum and evolved to a collective of music enthusiasts, artists and journalists with an online outlet in the form of an electronic magazine. He has also been writing articles for a number of magazines, including Special Interests, M/I, Skin Yard and Hard Art. As an organizer, he has been involved in putting on over 20 live events, ranging from small, low-key live shows to three-day multi-genre festivals. In 2005, Kowalski has begun to perform live with his solo industrial noise act Sleep Sessions, and up until 2013 has released 13 records and performed live extensively in Poland. In 2013, he has started a new solo endeavor called PURGIST. Since then, he has played 40 live shows in Poland and abroad, including a mini-tour in Poland and a recent European tour alongside a well-established industrial noise act MAAAA (Russia/Poland) and an Australian solo act DEAFAULT. Focused exploration of urban field recordings, digital artifacts, aural atmospherics and disjointed harsh noise dynamics. Damaged Eros, est. 2013
