Marcin Pietruszewski is an artist and researcher working with computer synthesis and composition. Across composition, pluriphonic installations and radio productions, he pursues specific formal developments in the tradition of 20th- and 21st-century music and contemporary art. Recurring themes in his practice include synthetic sound, algorithmic systems and the integration of scientific formalisms as compositional materials. Much of his work proceeds through a media-archaeological engagement with digital synthesis, excavating and reactivating historical computational instruments through software reimplementation and source-code analysis; his SuperCollider instruments include nuPG, a reworking of Curtis Roads's pulsar synthesis, and nUPIC, a reimagining of Xenakis's UPIC. Since 2026 he teaches Radical Instrumentalism in the Postdigital Lutherie MFA at the University of Arts Linz.
He has exhibited at Edinburgh's West Court Gallery, Remote Viewing in Philadelphia and the ICA in London, and has been commissioned by Sonic Acts / the Biennale di Musica, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, CTM Festival, ZKM | Karlsruhe and Deutschlandradio Kultur. He collaborated with Anthea Caddy on the installations Love Numbers (2023) and Auditory Scene Resynthesis as Cochlear Wavepackets (2021), and with Jan St. Werner (Mouse on Mars). His latest release, NORMIFICATION (with Florian Hecker), is published by Diagonal Records (London).
