Interview with Patrick Middleton

Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style is a combination of by the book and unorthodox methods in music and sound design
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Collaborating! You learn so many small things for writing and creating music when working with different people
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Don't be afraid if you don't know any technical jargon, Im always happy to go off anything you give me as a reference.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: That I'll treat every client project individually and complete the request in a timely, efficient and professional quality
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Try a different approach every time you start a new song, it will stop you from getting stuck in the same creative loop!
