It was again such a pleasure to collaborate with Jon.
I provided an already quite sophisticated composition but still needed some help with the overall atmosphere and especially the timbre of the string instruments I used. Contributing some of his ideas, too, I'm more than happy with the result :)

Interview with Jon Winterstein

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work out of my own studio in Hamburg, Germany. It is based around my iMac and my trusted Dynaudio speakers, as well as my collection of guitars (Fender, Martin, Gretsch, Yamaha etc.) and microphones (Neumann, AKG, Aston etc.), which I consistently use and misuse to create all kinds of sounds.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I am inspired by everyone who loves their art and cannot exist without the drive to create. People who manage to use their art to make the world a better place are especially inspirational to me.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I specialize in all things audio. I compose original music from simple piano lines to full tracks, mix and/or master existing songs and do sound design for film, TV or video games. To me, no audio project is too exotic to be considered.
