As I already announced, this year will see the premiere of harpist Amelia Tokarska’s debut album, of which I am the producer, arranger and art director. After completing all the recording sessions – several at the The Cavatina Hall in Bielsko-Biała and a few in Studio S2 of the Polish Radio, it was time for the mixing sessions. Together with the amazing Tadeusz Mieczkowski, we are working intensively on the sound quality in his Mastersound studio – stereo and Dolby Atmos™ mixes. Setup made for recording harps, including few pairs of top-quality microphones (DPA, Neumann, Shoeps, Royer, Coles) gave incredible possibilites to make harps, percussion and whistles sound natural, wide and without cutting any important details. The fantastic experience of one of Europe’s top sound engineers gives me confidence that the album will be of the highest audio quality.

P.S: We already know under which label the album will be published, but you’ll have to be patient for a while yet! It’s going to be a truly amazing adventure.

Stay tuned, we’re getting closer in this project but it’s not the only one I’m working on.
