How It All Began
2013
First Unprofessional Recording
It all started a long time ago, when I didn’t have any professional recording equipment, but I was drawn to the atmosphere of the city of Krakow. While riding my bike to an adventure that changed my life, I stopped to explore the city of Krakow on my way. Here in the old center, as I sat on a bench and listened, I heard different melodies and a specific music from a shop. This moment triggered the realization that sound is an overlooked storyteller.
