Mariusz Szypura is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer, graphic designer, and visual artist active for nearly three decades. He first emerged in Poland’s alternative scene with Happy Pills and later with Blimp, before founding his main project, Silver Rocket, which has released five acclaimed albums, including the award-nominated Tesla and the immersive Dolby Atmos work Infinity Fidelity.
Beyond music, Szypura has created award-winning video games, designed artwork for more than 80 albums, and shaped the visual identity of the OFF Festival in Katowice (2010–2015). His recent installation in:human (2024, Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle, Warsaw) explored the relationship between humans and technology through interactive, immersive media.
