Bogdan Raczynski is a Canada-based electronic music artist. He was born in Poland, but his family moved to the USA while he was a child. He went to art school in Japan but dropped out, after which he spent time playing trumpet in Japanese jazz clubs and making techno songs on his computer using trackers, which he would release on the Internet under the netlabel Kosmic Free Music Foundation under the moniker “Karl”. He also released music on the netlabels “noise” (as bogdan and undercover agent) and “mono” (as bogdan and ice.climber). Eventually he became homeless and lived on the streets of Tokyo, or in the homes of friends, still making music on his computer in the meantime; the song Nihon de Homeless on Samurai Math Beats reflects this. He was signed to Richard D. James’s Rephlex Records label. Many of his early music/demoscene tracks made it nearly unchanged onto his debut album, Boku Mo Wakaran (Rephlex CAT082 CD).
To describe his music it is far from easy, if sometimes it is near drum and bass, others can be labeled as avant-garde, electro-pop, even techno or at times a break-core. It could be better defined as eclectic.

He enjoys left-overs.

My friend Scott used to have these golden black markers that he used in the summer of 97'. In that same summer he was also into doing like art on cardboard, I respect a man who uses cardboard. We used to corrupt each other with art and coffee and late night talks about lack of noise in the area, we always had grand schemes but the area just wasn't ready. And then there's Ed, I never really knew Ed too well but I know he could craft a story out of a math equation.

That is such a good picture, especially with the way Polski are stereotypically viewed! (Not that it's true <3 Poles) I laughed out loud xD
