Company Background

ZYLIA develops innovative, world-class recording technologies and turns them into products that improve the lives of musicians and audio creatives. With a passionate and dedicated team of more than 20 experts in music production, audio research, software, business and product development, we craft and deliver products which redefine and revolutionize the way sound and musical performances are recorded and produced.

ZYLIA was founded in 2012 by Piotr Szczechowiak (COO) and Tomasz Żernicki (CTO) - both remarkable PhDs with extensive experience in academia and the industry. For the past years we have been fully focused on crafting, prototyping, testing and refining new audio products - all in close collaboration with the music and audio communities around the world.  

Almost all of our team is somehow connected to music. Whether it’s performing, writing, or producing, we know from personal experience what issues musicians face during recording sessions. The idea for Zylia came directly from our needs.
​
​We didn’t want to struggle with the recording process. It takes time and expert knowledge to do it properly. If you are a typical musician, you may find that there’s hardly anything creative about it. We came up with an idea to reduce the time you need to spend on recording by using just one special device. With the ZYLIA ZM-1, we gave musicians a unique tool which brings back life to music recording. You can record an entire band, capture ambient scenes, manipulate 3D audio, separate discrete sound sources, and add unique sounds to your final mixes — all with just one microphone.
​With ZYLIA, being creative becomes easy!

Our Mission
