Jan Zazvurek
Sound engineer
I got the nickname Zazy at the High School of Communication and Radio Technology, where I studied audiovisual, technology and organization. It is based on my surname and people and I got used to this title. It stayed with me at HAMU, where I got my master’s degree in sound design.
My life’s exploration and work is sound, especially music sound, musical sound and sound for film and TV shows. At the same time I teach sound mixing and mastering and offer consultations. My first experiences were in my childhood, where recording and sound processing were combined with my first attempts at music making, as I studied violin playing in a Music school. Later I began to learn guitar, double bass and mouth organ.
I started my professional career in 2004 when I joined the Kalich Theatre in Prague as a sound mixer. Here I learned how to work with sound on drama and music performances, made my first contacts and also mixed and mastered my first recordings for friends and bandmates. I also worked professionally at Wave Radio, where I mixed the morning show. Then in 2008 I was offered a job teaching sound at the high school I left a few years ago. At the same time I started to gain experience in professional recording studios (David Koller, Faust, Kaja Mařík).
My work thus settled on three domains: sound for music recordings and AV works (recording, mix, mastering), theater and pedagogy.
