About me
www.michaelapolakova.co.ukProjects / Credits:
In December 2019 I had a pleasure to work on a soundtrack for a short film (ARRI Trinity/ Directors UK one shot challenge) for an Australian director Charlotte George (screening in January 2020). I also composed music for a new theatre play ‘Bliss’ written by Fraser Grace and produced by Menagerie Theatre Company in Cambridge. The play was premiered at the International Platonov Festival in Voronezh, Russia and was also performed at the Hotbed Festival in Cambridge in July. I studied composition at King's College London. My music projects include an album 'Ellis Island' with my singer Natalie Kocab (I wrote all the music and co-produced the album) featuring a guitarist Nick McCabe of The Verve, released by Warner Music, orchestration of the music for BBC series ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel’ and for several Czech TV films, I composed music for a successful theatre play for Prague's Svanda Theatre, currently third year on repertoire. The play received stage reading in New York as well. I have several albums released by Sony Music in Europe. I acted, sang and danced in 'Excalibur' musical in a prestigious Prague's theatre Ta Fantastika for three years and I featured as a singer on music for 'The Unusual Pleasure of Living II', a ballet staged by the Kosice State Theatre in Slovakia. I'm currently working on a new album with Natalie Kocab.
