Amongst many vehicles recording sessions I did in 2013, there were two special ones – recording cars torturing, which I did for a feature film “Kochanie, chyba cię zabiłem” which was just released in Poland. For this particular film I have recorded eight different vehicles, varying from cars, to motorcycle and a bike. But I must say, that recording cars torturing was the most fun. The first one took

Last months were intense for me, so please forgive me long silence on the blog. I did a lot vehicles recordings, for upcoming projects and for my personal library as well. For a long time I wanted to create a library of sounds of classic cars from the 60s – 80s which were popular in Eastern / Central Europe. Growing up in Poland in the 80’s I was familiar with them. Now, during recording sessions it surpr

Recording in the New Year’s Day morning became my every year ritual. It’s the quietest day in the whole year. It could be called The Sound Recordist Day. It’s not easy to wake up early this day, but always when I go outside and hear how quiet it is, I know it will pay off. Last years I was focusing on recording atmospheres of the empty city. Yesterday I have seen large flock of pigeons on a square i

Recently I went to the flea market to search for something that makes noises. Intersting noises, with potential to use as a source in sound design. I had nothing specific in mind, it just had to sound interesting. Last time I bought Toy Piano and a Zither.   This time I found many vintage film cameras. The one I chose was in great condition and looked pitch perfect – it’s 8mm Revere Eight Camera. Bac

Some time ago I went to Silesia – industrial part of Poland to record some sounds. I found this coking plant and in the moment I heard it I knew I had to record it…     It smelled and looked not so great, but sounded incredible. It had its working sequence, during which generated complex sounds. I recorded it from different perspectives. Check it on headphones or good speakers, there’s nic

Sumer is over, so this is the last post of my summer vacations field recordings. I was invited to took part in documenting art performance in public space by Mateusz Choróbski, during which planes passed 200 meters above the main street in city Łodź in central Poland. I got permission to get to the top of the highest building on the street to record it. As I was afraid, of course HVAC units were a problem, but I mana

Following my previous post with the first part of sounds from vacations, here is the continuation. Arriving to new places I always enjoy complexity of acoustics. Reverberation between wooden cottages, reverb in the forest, in gorges, sound in the open air mountains top is interesting by its own. I love software reverbs, but reality is far more complex and interesting. Staying in the mountain village, few times I got

At first, sorry for long break on the blog. I had summer vacation first and after returning many things/projects needed my attention. In August, I spent two weeks in beautiful places, having recording kit with me of course. There is no better place to rest for me, than close to the nature. So we decided to go to the mountains. I learn, that being involved sound editor, every year my listening abilities evolves. I am

Some time ago I went to Warsaw for a sound conference European and American points of hearing. Are they different? where lectures were given by (!!!) Richard King, Bruno Tarrière, Larry Sider, Jörg Lensing and Nikodem Wołk-Łaniewski. Can’t say enough how great it was, three days full of inspiring lectures given by the best in the industry. As always when traveling I took my recording rig with me to do some fiel
