About
Passion for music is at the heart of all my projects.
Thanks to being involved in many different areas of creative work I was able to gain valuable experience. I was a member and songwritter in a band, I've written music for theater, arranged songs for independent artists and finally, I've composed music for a number of cinematic productions, including two feature movies (see credits). Currently, I am working on a full-length documentary.
I own a recording studio, equipped with rich and original instrumentarium. I also collaborate with artists who create unique musical instruments. Incorporating them in my work results in a distinct, enthralling sound. My primary instrument is guitar but I also play piano, sing and record other instruments as well.
When writing for film I am always trying to be conscious of how to achieve a certain emotional progression, how to accompany the story or possibly play on the contrary to image, how to move from one location to another. I am always thinking about a reason for the music in a given scene or a sequence.
My work involves steps from music composition, through sound recording, mix, to the final process of mastering.
I collaborate with talented instrumentalists and vocalists in order to breath life into my compositions.
Deep discussion preceding proper composing process is an important step to create a personalized and satisfying piece of music.
I play various instruments from my collection, including acoustic, electric guitars, standard and fretless basses, ukulele, pianos, ethnic handmade instruments, accordeon & more.
