SongLab

An intimate, intensive workshop where a song idea travels the whole road — from the first melody, through harmony and arrangement, to a finished recording. It's led by Olga Szyłejko (known artistically as Olga Matu), Franciszek Pospieszalski and Anna Urbanowicz — an outstanding team who don't just teach: they actively write, perform and record.

For songwriters. Do you have an idea for lyrics or a melody and want to understand how to build its harmony, a full band arrangement and a structure that turns that idea into a finished song? You don't need to play an instrument — your lyrics and melody become the material from which the rest of the group creates a full arrangement.

For instrumentalists. Working on songs created by the songwriters, you develop the ability to build form, tension and groove within a band. You learn how your instrument co-creates the whole — how to consciously shape harmony, dynamics and structure, working on living material in real time.

You spend the final day of the workshop at the professional recording studio BoogieTown Studio — under the guidance of a sound engineer, you turn the result of your shared work into a recording, in the conditions where real music productions are made.
