Hi! I'm a professional musician specialized in recording woodwind and brass instruments. My goal is to deliver the highest possible quality recordings and that's why I use an Universal Audio Apollo Twin audio interface and AKG C414 condenser microphones, which are industry standard in the top studios in the world.
I play soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophone, clarinet, bass clarinet, flute and piccolo. I also work with a great team of players to provide all the horns you need at the same place: Trumpet, flugelhorn, trombone, french horn, tuba, alto flute, bass flute and harmonica.
You can ask me to play a specific line or you can ask me to create a melody or an improvised solo for your track. I can also compose, arrange and record horn sections with any combination of horns.
I guarantee professional quality work that will exceed your expectations and I can deliver your tracks really fast if needed.

Super easy and fun to work with Patricio. This is our 2nd project and I have loved the playing style, musical imagination and professionalism. Will for sure work again in future! :D

I worked with Patricio on a piece with some scoring and improv for his clarinet. Patricio was prompt and clear with all of his communication, and he made sure that he understood exactly what I was looking for before he delivered his final takes - both of which were incredible tone and execution/creativity. I will definitely use Patricio again in the future for clarinet.
check_circleVerifiedPatricio was super nice, reliable and did a great job playing a sax solo for my song 'Slave and Lord'. He was also patient enough to do a second round to collect more ideas for an improvised section and nailed it every time!

Once again Patricio has done a very professional job, helping me with tenor sax for a soft soulpop song. As always, it sounds great, both melody lines, solo/ad lib sections and harmonies. A true professional! And also a very quick delivery, with great sound quality!
check_circleVerifiedVery fast delivery and killing playing technique. 3 horns only for this time and next time probably will be a full horn section for him. Looking forward to work with Patricio in the future!

I can truly recommend Patricio! He just helped me out with a sax recording which sounded great - he can easily understand exactly what I need, he plays really great with professionalism and also a personal touch, and the recordings have great sound quality. And he delivers really fast! Highly recommended!
