Detailed mixes for dense and layered music. I'ld love to enhance your song and help you materialize your vision. My strenght is in layering multiple rhythm, synths, samples, guitars and percussion.
When mixing, I focus on bringing all sounds together, like they exist in the same space, giving special attention to the stereo image as well as how the mix would be translated to different devices.
I am open to any genre, but I work best with music that has electronic elements, not strictly dance music, but also synthpop, indietronica, electronic rock, all industrial and post-industrial genres. This are the genres I know best and understand all conventions and structures.
I mix mostly in the box, but have access to a variety of instruments and gear from a studio which I run with a associate. I've also a partnership with guitarists and percussionists if needed.
That's totally fine if you're a musician who also partly mix your songs. I believe the processing and FX are part of the composition and I welcome experimentation. Sometimes I also record extra instruments to reinforce the song.
I'm always curious to hear references and learn about the concepts behind the lyrics and themes.
Hope to hear from you soon!

Q: Analog or digital and why?
