BcA. Michal Sýkora – A multi-genre sound engineer – tonmeister based in Lofoten, Northern Norway. Working both on live events and in the studio. Toured around the world with multiple theatre shows. Working project based, as well as an externist for rentals.

Be it an orchestra, electronics, theatre, shakuhachi, gneiss stones or trap vocals with a live band, I love to make things sound better. I studied classical music and jazz recording at Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, Czechia.

aesthetics

In live settings, when required by the genre, I like to blend the acoustic sound of the instruments with their amplified sound, so that no one can tell if it’s amplified until I turn it off for comparison. For electronic music, I enjoy when the sound is felt as well as heard as intended.

In the studio, I preserve the sonic character and energy of the artist’s rough mix, while tuning the balance of the spectrum, translating the mix as more influential, powerful and polished at the same time.
