Sound Design
Hide / unhide
Specializing in audio design, I utilize synthesizers such as Serum or Vital, and have particular affinity for Max MSP and its Mubu expansion. Remainder of my workshop includes variety of effects, virtual instruments and audio libraries, which consist of both my own recordings and those sourced from Soundly. I find reasons to engage in foley and field recording regularly. While my recording studio may not be the largest, it’s well equipped with quality hardware I’m very proud of.
Narrative – cinema, theatre music

Squadron 303 (dir. Denis Delić) – King George Scene
A complicated scene to score – there is a lot going on narratively and emotionally. The piece begins with subtle military percussion. Every time King George wittily asks about Squadron’s nationality – an echo of Polish anthem sounds. Music gradually forms a counterpoint between horn on the left (airmen side), playing quotes from the Mazurek Dąbrowskiego, while the horn on the right (English side) echoes God Save the Queen.
A worthy instance of the speech-music interaction.
These intertwining anthems serve as a musical narrative highlighting the solidarity between Poland and the UK during World War II. In the end, the result is a proud, witty ceremonial composition — one of my personal favourites.
Pafnucek, a miserable furball with a trunk, has had it enough. The plan? Rollerskate to Kalasanty’s flat and ice him with an axe. Will he succeed? …welp.
After some thought, I made the level-headed decision to ditch any professionalism and embrace absolute cluelessness. And that, quite frankly, helped? Promptly, I started improvising music as the movie goes. A finely vintage approach. Being immersed into musical act – effectively detached from the world – didn’t stop me from getting caught off guard by the absurdness the animation thrives on anyway. Abrupt mood changes, far registers… score even sports my actual hiccups, moments of genuine confusion, deemed to be kept. Altogether, it makes the music feel as confused as the viewer.
Just me, detuned upright piano, lots of reverb and one hell of a story. What could go awry?
an unhinged, surreal oddity. i love it.
