Ilya Izotov on SoundBetter

Professional East African drums, percussion and string instruments recording / Sound mixing

Hello,
My name is Ilya.
I have vast experience in concert and studio work in the music and film industry.

Based currently in Uganda, I can record for you the best East African musicians playing:
- percussion: full traditional Ugandan 7 drums set, calabash and other percussion instruments in different styles (Baganda, Kasese, West Nile, Toro Kingdom, etc)
- adungu (different sizes from soprano to bass),
- enanga,
- akogo (kalimba),
- xylophone (African marimba),
- unique bass guitar lines and more.

I work only with top level Ugandan traditional musicians.
For the full picture, please listen to the Samples in this profile.

It will be a completely unique experience for you, because no one can compare with the musicality and rhythm of African musicians.

I have been working as a studio and live sound mixer/engineer for over 22 years and I am ready for concerts of any level, studio recordings and mixing, including post-production in films.

I am open to any of your ideas!
