Recording, Mixing, Production

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I started writing piano pieces when I was 9, creating beats when I was 12, worked in a studio when I was 19, then studied music production from 2015 to 2018. Now (2021) I opened my own studio in Berlin.

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: I created an album under my own name in 2018. I'm very proud of it since I wrote all songs (with lyrics) and did all the engineering and mixing. It was a big project, but I am very happy how it turned out and it tells a very personal story.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I love analog gear and working with it, but digital is just so much more convenient and cheaper. I invested in good microphones and preamps, but EQ, compressors and all other effects are done in the box at my studio.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: I promise to deliver a song (or album) at the end that you will love, even if I might have a different opinion. I will do my best to enhance any aspect of your music, but I will always respect the original vision and not try to change it into something it isn't meant to be.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: Meeting new people with all kinds of different approaches, influences and ideas. Then taking these ideas and helping the client realize their vision. I love the variety of genres clients bring to my studio and that no two bands are the same.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Perfectionist, but never bending anything to a fake "perfection". I want things to sound natural and not artificial, but I work very hard on getting that natural sound to be as good as possible.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: I love working with real instruments and I love anything experimental or otherwise testing the boundaries of genres. I definitely have a rock/metal background (especially the progressive type), but I have learned to love and create so many genres.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: Professionally treated recording and control room with a large collection of microphones and preamps (Neumann, Neve, RME, AKG, Sennheiser, Shure,...). In the recording room you will find a grand piano, a drum set and various other instruments. I mainly use Pro Tools and Ableton, Adam speakers and an RME interface.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: Most commonly I record bands in my studio, edit those recordings and often mix the songs in the end. Throughout this whole process I usually also act as a creative producer, offering my advice on arrangement, sound, harmony, form and so on.
