About David Wurczel

Hello! I am a music composer, orchestrator, sound designer, concert guitarist from Prague. Also occasionally a music instructor for ISMFA Prague, Musehouse international music school and other educational institutions. After finishing my Master of Fine Arts degree in Game Music & Audio at the University of Chichester (ThinkSpace Education), I became a professional composer and sound designer in the video game industry. I have performed guitar concerts in prestigious venues around Europe. To name but a few among the most notable, Teatro Principal in Spain where I played with prof. Štěpán Rak who was my mentor for several years, Embassy of the Czech republic in The Hague and Witold Lutoslawski Hall where I had a premiere of my orchestral arrangement of Heroes of Might and Magic music and a bunch of soloist entries during sold out concerts of my great Polish friends, the Heroes Orchestra. Through years of practice I have developed my own guitar technique which I've named ''rotando'', the technique has received approval of many world-class guitar professionals including prof. Štěpán Rak, Vladislav Bláha, Dr. Mariel Peñaloza Moreno. During high-school I started producing music in Logic Pro 9. Since then I have worked on various student short movies and joined several game dev teams in IndieDB to contribute my music to them. Besides being an audio producer I am also a passionate gamer. By joining my talent and my gaming hobby (or obsession?) I got to know the composer of Heroes of Might and Magic music, Paul Anthony Romero. Today I often find myself arranging his music and performing it live, either as a soloist or together with the Heroes Orchestra. You would also find me accompanying the employees of Microsoft and Skype on their annual choir concerts and private parties. Currently I work for a bunch of game studios out of which Warhorse Studios is the ''main quest''. My role there could be summarised as ''Technical Music/Audio Specialist''. Volcanoids, Magna Regna, Crimson Capes are game titles I consider as my secondary-personal projects. I mostly work as a composer for those guys.
