Matthew Ostrowski: Shuffling The Deck
from The Roulette Tapes Hosted by Roulette Intermedium
Composer Matthew Ostrowski on his origin story and an analysis of the 2021 piece, Monograph, which is a not entirely dour, often humorous, reflection on the acceptance of death and misfortune, anchored by the song, Streets of Laredo (but is it?). A master of electronic processing, video manipulation, unconventional installation, and alternative technologies, Ostrowski’s passion for history and fertile correlations drives this piece to highs of both musical and narrative poetry. Peppered with excerpts from Monograph and earlier (2009) performance at Roulette.
