AUDIO & VIDEO

RECORDING, EDITING

Working with sound and image has become a natural extension of my artistic practice. Through recording, editing, and post-production, I explore the relationship between audio and visual space, shaping projects that combine atmosphere, structure, and narrative. Each production is approached as a balance between technical detail and artistic intention. Below is a selection of my audio and video production work.

This project was conceived as an online concert recording during the COVID-19 pandemic, intended for YouTube release.  We had only a few hours at night to capture the performance inside the neo-Gothic Church of St. Peter and Paul in Katowice. The entire audio and video production — including editing — was completed within four days. 


For the recording, I chose a minimalist AB setup using two omni-directional microphones, aiming to preserve the natural acoustics of the space. I was supported by two camera operators during the shoot. 


The project was particularly demanding, as I was simultaneously responsible for capturing high-quality audio as a recording engineer while also operating two cameras. During the editing process, I had to work quickly, selecting the right takes under time pressure.
This is one of the productions I am especially proud of — a moment where I was able to capture both the atmosphere and the remarkable sound of Camerata Silesia.

In shaping the interview, I focused on creating a natural and reflective atmosphere, allowing the narrative to unfold with clarity and authenticity. The process involved not only recording and editing, but also guiding the structure and flow of the conversation to support the overall story of the film.
