A new single “Landscape” is out now on streaming platforms!  

 

Back in 2015, I was a student in the music production program at Berklee Online, where I had the chance to study under two incredible teachers, Marty Walsh and Shane Adams. Their guidance played a huge role in shaping this track.

Originally, it started out as a pretty rough Witcher 3-inspired vocal and lute piece. Honestly, no one liked it much. But instead of scrapping it, I kept adding instruments, layering sounds, and for the first time, I really dove deep into arranging music. Then, out of nowhere, this melody just started playing in my head, and that became the heart of the track.

By the end of my Berklee course, I had a demo mix I was quite happy with, and then it just sat there for a while. In 2020, I submitted it to the FMC Film Music Competition and, to my surprise, I was named one of the top 7 finalists worldwide with my composition "Landscape"! It's been an unexpected and amazing journey. When I first created "Landscape," it was just a school project. I never thought it would take me this far. Participating in the competition was a unique experience, even though it had to be done online due to Covid19. Still, it's a huge achievement for me as an aspiring composer. I'm incredibly grateful for this opportunity and for all the support I've received along the way. It's moments like these that remind me why I'm so passionate about music. 

 



Years passed. I upgraded my equipment, and one day I came back to that track and decided it was finally time to polish it up and release it. Still, I wasn’t quite satisfied, so I reached out to my talented audio engineer, Michele Brustia (:::proofsound:::), who helped fix everything I couldn’t figure out myself. I originally met Michele during my Berklee classes, and even recorded vocals for his 2014 Ad Estremum track Amor Vincit Omnia.

The funny thing is, the track was mastered at 192kHz/24-bit, but CD Baby only accepts 44.1kHz/16-bit, so I needed to find a better publisher. I eventually chose LANDR. The CD cover was designed by Studio Jesper Krijgsman, whom I discovered through his artwork for Thomas Bergersen’s Illusions. He was absolutely amazing to work with and really brought the visual side of this project to life.

Stay tuned for more updates updates on my music blog. There's plenty more to come, and I can't wait to share it with you all!

Barbara Król is taking part in Virtual Choir 6! 

I wanted to share some exciting news with you all – I've decided to participate in Virtual Choir 6! Eric's music has completely blown me away, and I couldn't resist the opportunity to be a part of something so special. It's been a wonderful and totally new experience to sing this beautiful choral piece along with the conductor.I will be singing the alto part.

In the midst of the Covid19 crisis, I believe it's more important than ever to stay true to ourselves and come together with others through music. It's in music that we learn compassion, empathy, and discipline, and I'm thrilled to be a part of a project that embodies these values.

I'm genuinely excited to see the final outcome and to be a part of this incredible journey. If you wish to learn more about Virtual Choir, click here.
