Łukasz Targosz

He was born in Krakow, studied at the Academy of Music in Katowice, now lives in Warsaw. Thanks to his harmonic imagination and passion for symphonic compositions, Lukasz has quickly come into his own as a film composer. Today he can boast of over 40 soundtracks for various cinematic projects - to begin with art house, through mainstream movies and animation, to end with new generation historic movies such as „Kamienie na szaniec” by Robert Glinski, long awaited screen version of a classical Polish novel by Aleksander Kaminski. He was also a co-producer of „Floating Skyscrapers” by Tomasz Wasilewski, one of top award winning Polish movies in 2013 (International Film Festival in Karlove Vary, T-Mobile New Horizons, Gdynia Film Festival). The animation entitled „The Game“, which he also co-produced, was awarded during numerous grand international festivals and was the only Polish animation which stood a chance to win an Oscar for the year 2012. His other scores were highly appreciated by jury of Roma Fiction Fest or On Location: Memphis International Film&Music Fest. The music composed by Lukasz Targosz balances between mathematical precision and passion for melody. His works trespass the film’s tissue, respond to the tempo and mood, but also bring in a kind of a surpluss which serves as his musical signature. Live instruments, spiced up afterwards by electronics, are always his starting point when thinking about the phrase. The third dimension of the sound is deftly created by the real sounds of life in a movie and space outside the frame. Read more on Last.fm.
