Introduction

Bogdan Dullsky (real name Bogdan Dulschii) is a composer, sound artist, and audiovisual performer whose work exists at the intersection of drone music, ambient, and electroacoustic experimentation. His projects—such as Quest.Room.Project and Freedom Reflex—have found resonance in international artistic communities, shaping a body of work that examines human perception, social consciousness, and existential themes.

Dullsky approaches sound not as mere composition, but as a field of exploration, where frequencies interact with silence, and perception becomes an instrument of discovery. He currently lives and works in Finland, embracing solitude as a means of deep creative immersion.

Formative Years: Listening Beyond Sound

Born in the former Soviet Union, Dullsky’s artistic foundation was shaped through movement and observation. From an early age, he was drawn to the act of listening—not only to sound but to the spaces between it. His travels exposed him to diverse cultural soundscapes, instilling a lifelong fascination with the relationship between environment, memory, and resonance.

His first experiments involved tape recorders and field recordings, capturing everything from urban noise to the subtle textures of nature, later layering them into multi-dimensional compositions. This early practice of listening and reinterpreting reality became the foundation for his evolving sound philosophy.

Artistic Philosophy: Sound as a Portal

As Dullsky’s work matured, it moved beyond technical composition into a philosophical inquiry. Sound became a tool not just for expression, but for understanding the imperceptible—a means of transcending the surface of experience.

For him, music is not an artifact but an event, a phenomenon unfolding in real-time. His compositions are not fixed—they exist in flux, shifting with each listening, demanding active perception. He often describes his work as a bridge between sensory experience and deeper truths—where silence, resonance, and time converge.

Theater and Audiovisual Evolution: A Synesthetic Approach

Dullsky’s early work in theater sound direction introduced him to the emotional and spatial dimensions of sound. This experience led to a natural transition into audiovisual performances and sound installations, where sound and moving imagery exist in a state of interplay.

Rather than composing in a traditional linear format, he developed real-time improvisational methods, where sound is “painted” live, responding to spatial acoustics, visual input, and audience presence. His live sets often unfold as unpredictable sonic environments, where technology is not a tool but an extension of instinct.

Improvisation and Authenticity: The Art of Presence

Dullsky sees improvisation not as a technique, but as a way of being. Like an actor embodying a role, he enters a state where sound and performer dissolve into the present moment.

“We were searching for stimuli and reacting to them, and it all blended into something larger,” he reflects. In this approach, originality is not a conscious effort but an emergent phenomenon—born from unfiltered engagement with the present.

A Borderless Perspective: Sound as Connection

Raised in a multicultural environment, Dullsky’s worldview is one where borders dissolve, and art becomes a universal language. His compositions reflect themes of unity, movement, and pacifism, seeking to dissolve the distance between the individual and the collective.

His soundscapes are not self-contained expressions but spaces where the listener’s interpretation completes the work. Each project is an invitation to experience time, space, and consciousness through sound and image.

Today and Beyond: Silence, Sea, and Sound

Dullsky’s current work is shaped by his life on an island within the Bothnian Bay archipelago. Removed from the distractions of urban life, he finds inspiration in the cycles of the sea, the silence of vast landscapes, and the improvisational rhythm of sailing.

Yachting, for him, mirrors his approach to sound—an intuitive navigation through shifting conditions, where adaptation and spontaneity define the experience. This environment, both isolating and immersive, allows for a deeper exploration of perception, presence, and artistic process.

Engaging in both local and global artistic communities, Dullsky continues to redefine the boundaries of sound and image, extending an open invitation:

To listen. To see. To perceive.
