I’m Slava, a Post-Production Generalist based in Germany with around 9 years of experience in video editing, basic compositing, and color grading — but music has always been my main passion and long-term goal. Alongside my work in video, I’ve consistently created original music, mainly for my own projects, developing a strong practical foundation in tools like Ableton Live and Logic Pro, as well as hardware such as Akai MPC Live II. I also have hands-on experience with analog and semi-modular synthesizers including Moog synthesizers, Behringer TD-3, and Behringer Crave. I play guitar, have basic piano and percussion skills, and focus on improvisation and sound exploration when creating music. While I don’t have formal music theory training, I’ve developed a strong intuitive sense of rhythm, structure, and sound design. I’m also comfortable working with plugins and AI-assisted audio tools. Previously, I worked in Warsaw, including at ORKA Film as an AI Post-Production Artist, where I worked with AI-assisted pipelines, generating visuals and integrating them into video projects. This background gave me a deep understanding of timing, pacing, and the relationship between sound and image. I’m now looking for a junior, internship, or assistant role in a music studio, where I can transition fully into music production, grow within a professional environment, and contribute both creatively and technically.
