Bogdan Raczynski is a Canada-based braindance artist. He was born in Poland, c. 1977, but he moved along with his family to the U.S. during his childhood. During the mid-1990s he used trackers to compose techno tracks, which were released on the netlabel Kosmic Free Music Foundation under his alias "Karl". At some point between mid-1996 and 1997 he left the US for Japan where he attended and eventually dropped out of art school. He then spent time playing trumpet in Japanese jazz clubs, eventually becoming homeless and living on the streets of Tokyo or in the homes of friends. During this time he was still making music on his computer; the song Nihon de Homeless on Samurai Math Beats is a reflection of this period of his life. He was eventually signed to Richard D. James's Rephlex Records label. Some of the songs on his first album, Boku Mo Wakaran, had been previously released on the Internet.
His style is similar to that of Squarepusher's, mixing complex beats with strange sounds and samples. He sings in both Japanese and English (and occasionally Polish), usually with melodramatic, exaggerated lyrics in a funny, strained voice.
Bogdan is also famous for many of his "Mini" movies based on documentaries on how the Home Computer has affected many of the children's behavior.
