ABOUT ME
Drive a human expression into electronics … welcome all wind controller players. I’m Łukasz Knapik, music teacher, saxophonist and AKAI EWI player. Thank you in advance for the time you’ll spend in here. I hope my work will inspire you to take your wind controller to new places. When I started playing music, before I even know what Sound Design really was. I have always enjoyed exploring the different sounds for my EWI, trying new ones and tweaking them a bit in order to give my music special tone. Today, when making sounds, I try create something that will be unique and would not be found anywhere else.
The best thing about being a sound designer and a musician is that 60% of the job is listening. In my creative process I give vital importance in designing a unique palette for each my sound idea. I believe experimentation plays a crucial role in every work of art, therefore I like to present multiple alternatives to the same situation in order to find an adequate solution. A lot of people forget how important it is to be creative. We get caught up in getting ahead and in day to day minutiae. But creativity is a fundamental mode of expression, as is being tenacious and standing by your own convictions and passions, even if it’s not the 'popular’ choice.
Hardware and software I have worked on: Dave Smith Mopho, Evolver and Prophet REV2, Xfer Serum, UVI Falcon, Omnisphere 2, Reason Studios 12, Audio Modeling SWAM, Acoustic Samples and VPS Avenger. iOS synths – apps: THOR, SynthMasterOne, Zeeon, iMono / Poly and much more.
