Marek Polgesek on SoundBetter

Compelling vocals with a unique timbre and wide vocal range distinguishing your folk, rock, jazz, and electronic arrangements, available in English, Polish & German. My own songwriting stands out through intriguing melodies and harmonies that invite the listener into an imaginary space that can feel melancholically nostalgic or childishly utopian.

I've performed as a singer-songwriter for many years and have released a single and an EP, written, arranged, and produced by me. Another Life (sound sample) is the final song of the EP. Check out the rest on www.nansea.bandcamp.com/

With a very wide vocal range (d3 to f6) combined with a highly skilled control over my voice, I can give your song or arrangement the emotional expression that distinguishes it from other compositions. It doesn't matter if you aim for a soft and mellow sound or if you wish for a strong extroverted sound.
In my songwriting, my aim is to combine classically inspired harmonies with catchy modern melodies that are demanding, yet approachable. I'm particularly drawn to a vulnerable sound that resists being a cliché.

My songwriting process is two-fold. Most of the time I start off with a lyric and put the words into a melody. From there I start building an arrangement that evolves organically from the message I try to send across.
Another approach is by starting off with a piano or guitar riff, to which I improvise melodies to words I've written before. In all my songs I tell the story through an interplay of smooth tensions and delicate releases.

    Marek brought pure magic to a song we wrote for a film.

    He took the time to really take in the brief and asked questions about the story behind the song. He took directions on very subtle elements of the performance perfectly in his stride, and offered his own suggestions on how to improve certain moments. All of this aside - his voice is absolutely beautiful and he was able to capture exactly the emotion we were looking for in the song.

    Cheers to Marek!

    Marek has a beautiful voice and provided mesmerising harmonies. I would totally recommend him. His interpretation of the song exceeded my expectations as he added his own creative touch to make it better.

    The final result was exceptional
    If there were 6 stars I had given it for the first time.
    It carries an emotional charge in a beautiful voice.
    Always very understanding.
    I will definitely want to work with Marek again.
