Work Ethic
Marcin transitioned to a career as a film composer driven not only by his love of film, but also very much due to the collaborative nature of the job. He embraces challenges and creative limitations which naturally arise from working with existing ideas and values the opportunity to plan and implement the compositional approach together with the director. Although he is pleased to make artistic decisions and suggest unconventional approaches, Marcin equally enjoys working with directors who have a clear and well-defined vision for music in their projects.
Planning in advance helps Marcin complete projects ahead of their deadlines. Whenever possible, he encourages conversations about music during early stages of pre-production, allowing him to create suites and sketches before and during the edit. This approach provides extra time for unforeseen changes and ensures thorough final checks before project completion.

He is dedicated to maintaining clear and consistent dialogue with directors throughout the process, ensuring a deep understanding of the often evolving direction. Marcin actively seeks feedback and provides regular updates, fostering an open and transparent environment. By addressing any evolving needs promptly, he helps create a smooth workflow.

Marcin understands the importance of feedback and actively integrates it into his process. He frequently sends drafts for review to ensure his work progresses in alignment with the director’s vision for the film. Initially, he may present his own interpretation of the feedback to better understand the director’s intent, but as the project nears completion and feedback becomes more specific, Marcin effectively implements necessary changes.
Marcin consistently explores fresh ideas and unique sounds to infuse each musical piece with distinctiveness and a profound connection to the project’s underlying message. His creative process often involves recording live instruments and diverse sound sources, which he then manipulates and processes in innovative ways.
