Music Production

An acoustic recording with John Mahon and Cormac Murphy.

Inspired by the Czech proverb "Naděje umírá poslední" (hope dies last), this single production functions as a heartfelt praise to hope. The song demonstrates a maturation into a rich, ensemble-driven aesthetic that utilizes the full range of Zoe Hayter's theatrical background. The track features a dynamic build from quiet vulnerability into an energetic, band-driven anthem. The violin work by Rafał Szydłowski acts as the metaphorical "voice of hope," while Maciej Bliziński’s piano and electric bass provide a modern, grounded foundation for Zoe's rustic and angelic vocals.

"Tentativa" is the studio album debut for the Brasilidades ensemble—Luisa Annibali, Julio Batista, and William Alexandre—exploring the traditions of Choro and Samba. The ten-track album features original music in both Portuguese and Italian. Maciej served as the recording, mixing, and mastering engineer, ensuring that the organic Choro and Samba textures were captured authentically. The project highlights the rhythmic depth and melodic elegance of the ensemble, contributing to the vibrant grassroots Brazilian music scene in Dublin.

"Libera" is a landmark solo album from Luisa Annibali, representing the culmination of five years of songwriting. It blends jazz with Italian lyrics and Latin rhythms, drawing comparisons to artists like Esperanza Spalding and Gretchen Parlato. The album showcases Luisa's fearless genre-blending, incorporating Italian melodic richness, Brazilian rhythms, and modern neo-soul influences. Maciej's involvement in the vocal recording and mixing ensured that the expressive vocals and boundless energy of the performance were captured with pristine clarity.

"Talkative" serves as the primary exemplar of the Marenghi-Bliziński partnership. Co-written by the artist and the producer, the track is a multi-layered composition that features a unique instrumentation blend, including violin by Oleg Bezuglov. The narrative surrounding the track is one of intellectual exchange. The title implies a focus on communication, a theme that is reflected in the arrangement where the voice, violin, and percussion engage in a dynamic dialogue, weaving together elements of sophisticated pop and acoustic jazz.
