Mixing and mastering in our studio is done by Marcin Bocinski, a sound engineer with 20 years of experience. He learned everything related to sound from Jacek Zlotkowski (Czeslaw Niemen, Marek Grechuta, Red Guitars, Maryla Rodowicz and others) and mastering from one of the most successful sound engineers in the world, Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Beastie Boys, Bjork, Gorillaz, 21 Grammy awards) at his studio in Hollywood, CA.
From the speakers in our studio sounded: Boguslaw Schaeffer's experiments, Tadeusz Różewicz's poetry as interpreted by Edyta Bartosiewicz, Swedish country music, piano-ambient from Seoul, SKA from Patagonia, indie rock from Chile, film music from Los Angeles, remixes by Ben Frost, electronica from Mexico, pop from Turkey, trip hop from the Republic of Karelia, Leszek Możdżer with Holland Baroque, Michal Jacaszek's Treny, Piotr Damasiewicz's trumpet, Mikołaj Trzaska's clarinet, guys from Pin Park playing Synthi 100 and Roland System 700, Eugeniusz Rudnik's archival tapes from Polish Radio Experimental Studio, various jazz subgenres from Bydgoszcz and more, but it's impossible to list everything.
