Mikael Zsafirowski, Audio Design
My mentors Neff Irizarry, Gilius van Bergijk, Fred Frith, Alfred Zimmerlin and Volker Böhm have each in their way helped me to break from certain confines. Whether it is breaking free from a certain complacency of an (ex-) jazz musician or the dichotomy between composed and found material, or just simply transcending things that I thought I couldn’t do, with time, I understand better how much I owe. I’m glad to have played a part in the founding of the bands Rooie Waas, Naked Wolf and the Royal Improvisers orchestra. Besides my own personal work, I’m contributing to the groups Zugabe and Gajar Girl as well as producing the music of my friends and doing the occasional sound engineering gig.
