I have known Konrad Kania from 2012 in my capacity as an actor and Artistic Liaison at Polish Theatre Ireland. Konrad worked with a company as a composer and sound designer on Chesslaugh Mewash (2012), Delta Phase (2012), and Bubble Revolution (2013, ongoing). I performed in all these shows and was also involved in the production side of Chesslaugh Mewash and Bubble Revolution. Based on the quality of his work, professionalism, and personal communication I would strongly recommend Konrad.

 

From an actor’s point of view, it is a privilege to work with a composer like Konrad. He respects the actor and the actor’s interpretation of their role and does all he can to support it. I always felt that the music he wrote for Chesslaugh Mewash, Delta Phase, and Bubble Revolution was another stage partner for me to engage with and bounce off. It is very special experience. From talking to the directors who collaborated with Konrad, I know their encounters with Konrad were also extremely positive. He is a composer that truly listens to the leading idea and views himself and his music as part of the collaborative team and mise-en-scène respectively. This is a rare quality. Working on the production side, I found Konrad to be extremely flexible, reliable, and generous with his work and time. It is also worth mentioning that Konrad’s music for Bubble Revolution got several compliments during the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe. Some spectators even explicitly asked where they can find his other work. This did not surprise me as I always found Konrad’s music to be of the highest quality.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions.

I have had the pleasure of working with Konrad before on a theatre project to which he brought his vast skill set as an artist and added a whole new dimension to the work. It was exemplary and was much more than I asked for both as soundscape and as an original score. in the event of future projects Konrad would be my first port of call.

The cooperation with Konrad Kania that had a place during the recital of mine and the pianist Dearbhla Collins on 30th of November 2015  in a National Concert Hall was absolutely great experience when it comes to it’s quality, involvement and general organization of Konrad’s work and help.

 

We didn’t know much about our musical past or work of each other while we first met  but I was suprised very positively seeing professional sound material that I was given very shortly after the performance. Konrad was recording our recital the other day. I would highly recommend his service to anybody interested at sound engineer’s work who’s friendly attitude, open mind for suggestions of others and simultaneously he is open for sharing his own ideas and comments according to the music subject.

 

Very well done, looking forward to future projects with Konrad Kania.
