What are we?

As forms take shape, an era awaits

Forms + Shapes is an advisory agency and independent publication by Mike Mokotow Pelczynski documenting all things at the intersection of music.  

Who are we?

With a deep understanding of both the economic and creative dimensions of the music industry, Pelczynski’s work has contributed to the evolution of the music streaming business and the advancement of ethical AI practices in music.

Hi, I'm Mike. I like beer & ice cream. I'm also a songwriter, former head of strategy at SoundCloud and other leadership roles at major music and tech companies. I find satiation in challenging the status quo, building & architecting things. Sometimes people notice. Sometimes it's a matter of shaping an ethical future. Sometimes it's just matter of personal spiritual survival. I strive for balance (through imbalance), obsess over the human condition, pine for progress & seek some semblance of 'peace of mind'.

Most importantly I look forward to communing with you – like minds, sharing bodies of work & challenging it all.
