About

Hi, my name is Sławek Janus and I have been making and playing musical instruments for over 20 years. I draw inspiration from a wide range of ethnic and experimental music, and I play various instruments such as drums, xylophones, waterphones, edge-blown ethnic flutes like the ney or kaval, kalimbas, and others. Most of these instruments I build myself.

Moreover, I have always been interested in computers and programming, starting on 8-bit Atari and going on to PCs through Commodore Amiga 500. Despite my love for playing music and constructing instruments, I pursued a master's degree in computer science.

Soundyan represents a combination of my many passions that have accompanied me since childhood. My focus here is to create high-quality audio plugins for composers, music and video producers seeking authentic and original sounds. I collaborate with great sound engineers for sound recordings.

We are currently working on some exciting new projects, so stay tuned! And, if you're interested, you can also check out my waterphone website at waterphone.pl
