Interview with Alexandru

Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Melodic, uplifting, melancholic, driving, dark, energetic and explosive.

A: My passion for music and my knowledge and experience on music production. I think one of my strongest skill is the ability to add emotion to the music I make.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I can help you with the arrangement of the whole track or of your drumming. I can replace your samples with better ones, I can replace instrumentation with a more full body sound if necessary (synths & soft synths). I can re-write your melodies. I can improve your drums (make them sound good on their own). I can improve your mixing.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I receive a request. I assess what needs to be done. I agree on the price and timeline and I get on to it. Once I have a draft ready I send it over to my client for review.

A: I would really love to sit down in the studio with Michael Cretu. He's a genius in my opinion.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Of course. Always start your song with a proper structure. Know in advance what's the purpose of your song and structure the arrangement to suit the purpose of the song. If it's a club song then focus on having proper build-ups, breaks and drops to suit that environment.
