Henry Gwiazda is a composer/new media artist. Since 1986, he has worked with sampling and sound effects to create a unique musical language that is derived from the interior musical characteristics of noise itself. In 1992 he turned his attention to virtual audio and created two works for immersive technologies. In 1995, he extended his interest of sampling natural sounds to include a sampling of all phenomenon that has movement: a comprehensive artistic approach that has resulted in work that is multimedia in nature. These new works make use of new media to create a virtual realism that is focussed on movement.

“…That’s why I find the work so powerful-because no art goes into our soul and grips it until all it’s techniques, it’s philosophical strategies, it’s finally detailed structures, have been boiled down and distilled and made simple. And Gwiazda has gotten to the essence..” Kyle Gann, liner notes, “…she’s walking…”
“magical…I was drawn ineluctably, ever more fascinated by the amount of unexpectedly beautiful detail and the relationships between them…”She’s Walking……” is a profound, acute observation on “those empty spots, those times in between”. Highly recommended ” Brian Olewnick, review “she’s walking……”
“… his real genius, which is as a poet of natural sound…” Kyle Gann, liner notes, noTnoTesnoTrhyThms

The quality of sounds used are stunning, the choices of when and where to place sounds, both spatially and structurally, are immaculate, and the works are both immediately engaging, and continually fascinating on repeated hearings” Warren Burt, Chroma
