In this conversation, Micha\u0142 shares how a love of the past pulled them toward gut strings, Baroque style, and the Vienna bass tradition, plus the path from studying in Krak\u00f3w to a year studying in Brussels with Korneel Le Compte. We dig into Micha\u0142\u2019s composing process, from writing cadenzas to building a huge library of bass sheet music and learning by analysis, along with current projects like a concerto inspired by the surviving bars of Dittersdorf\u2019s concerto for violone and an aria for countertenor and obbligato bass. Micha\u0142 also talks about balancing music with life as a parent and work as a software developer, and what might come next.
