Mixing and/or mastering

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

A: I was the recording an mixing engineer on an album called "Ind I Evigheden" by the Danish/Italian songwriter Marc Facchini. The entire album was recorded without any overdubbing and there was a huge variety of instruments, including strings, percussion, organs, horns and woodwinds. After the recording I also did a lot of post-production and sound design in collaboration with the producer of the record, Neill Furio, so I am very proud of the blend of great acoustic performances and weird electronic soundscapes.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: At the moment I am working on an album project with a Swedish songwriter. It is going to be an album with a very cool blend of great lyrics and quirky and surprising production elements.

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: I am new to this platform, so I can't recommend anyone yet :)

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Both. With regards to sound quality in general, you can't beat analog hardware in my opinion. To get the right tonal balance of an instrument or a voice, I will almost always use some kind of analog eq or comp at one point. However, when it comes to inventing new sounds and adding to the personality of a project, the digital domain gives you total freedom to experiment and be creative.

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

A: My promise to my clients is, that I will leave no stone unturned when it comes to making the most out the project, whether it be mixing, mastering, sound design or anything else, really :)

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: I believe that arts and culture are fundamental to our wellbeing as humans, so I love the fact that I get to contribute to all the great music that is being created. AND, it gives me a kick when I am in the studio and I really feel a production starting to come together and get a life of it's own.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: My Jazzmaster, Roland RE-201 Space Echo, Coles 4038 ribbon mic, Revox A77 tape recorder and an extra Roland Space Echo ;)

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

A: I started out as a musician. I have been playing the guitar since I was 8 years old and in 2011 I started touring and recording as a musician full time. In 2014 I started recording demoes for the band I was playing in and then I slowly moved on to mixing and recording for clients from the Danish upcoming scene. From 2016-2019 I was enrolled as an audio engineer student at The Royal Danish Academy of Music and I have been working in my own studio with recording/mix/mastering for 4 years now.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: I would love to work with mixing a production or recording by Tame Impala or Beach House. I think I would be able to add a little bit of grit to the sound, to give it another dimension.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Preparation and understanding of the client is key to a good production.

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

A: Most of my work is in the indie/acoustic genre. But I also work a lot with classical music and sound design, so there is quite a lot of variation in what I do.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: When mixing, my strongest skill is my ability to bring clarity and focus to the mix, leaving no parts or instruments inaudible or covered.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: Attention to detail and personality.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: It is very different because a lot of the projects I work on are very different. One important thing for me though, is to always take the time at the beginning of a project and get a good understanding of what the client is looking for, so we're working in the same direction.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: My studio is based around my RME interface and a pair of Adam A77X speakers. Along with that I have a long list of plugins and some top quality analog hardware (API,SSL,)

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: Radiohead and Nigel Godrich have been huge inspirations for me, both with regards to songwriting, production and sonic tastes. I am also a big fan of how Tame Impala has reinvented the indie-sound and shown that having a killer sound doesn't have to mean you can't have quirks and personality.

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

A: The most of my work is mixing or mastering of recordings or productions made by my clients. I also do a lot of live sound and concert recordings.
