Francesco Maria Ricci on SoundBetter

I’m Francesco, Italian experimental producer. Versatile and creative, creating original and unique sounds for each artist. Analogue and environmental.

Francesco Maria Ricci, Music producer, Mix & Sound design specialist.

I specialize in the production and realization of experimental songs, with a targeted and well-defined research of each sound, I love to sample and record original sounds that can create uniqueness to each single track.

I worked for 3 years in a studio in Rimini, a large Italian studio that boasts prestigious productions and works throughout the territory.

Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to work with fashion brands such as Roberto Collina, for the musical production of commercials. A production of mine was also taken for a Volkswagen commercial and in the gaming world a production for a VR game on Epic games.

I have also worked with various Italian artists, my works have appeared on Untraditional 2 TV series on Comedy Central, La9 and D Play.
Other songs have also passed on Radio Deejay.

Seriousness and experimentation are the keywords of all my work.

Francesco is simply great at what he does - he takes time to understand your vision and creative influence so he can craft the perfect sound for your music. He elevated an already great song to a whole different level. Will definitely use him again!

A highly original producer with a strong emphasis on sound design and the use of real sounds.
