For layered, complex, unpredictable and noisy music. I'm all about storytelling, atmosphere and immersion.
Composer and producer based in São Paulo, creating music as diverse and unpredictable as the city itself.
As a mix engineer, I’m all about the collaborative spirit. I'd rather be a creative partner than a service provider. Together, we will elevate your music and convey your message authentically.
I focus on immersive music that goes beyond the ordinary. We’ll be a great fit if you’re interested in texture, atmosphere, storytelling, and concept creation. No, I don’t have any Grammys or Oscar nominations, neither do I have songs topping the charts, but I believe if you’re coming after me, that’s not your goal anyway.
Outside the studio, my creative pursuits extend to photography, surreal novels, indie games, museum visits and esotericism. I'm also a tattoo artist, and I have a master’s degree in Cultural Projects Management. I bring this diverse background, enriching the musical landscapes I help create.
If you're seeking a fresh, conceptual production infused with creativity and passion, I'm here to assist. Let's collaborate to turn your artistic vision into reality.
The prices are negotiable and project-dependent. There are bulk discounts for albums/EPs.

Joe did an amazing job as usual, this time mixing a contemporary ambient track and taking the soundstage and textures to another level.

Awesome job doing a kind of difficult mix - the song was based around a rather distorted sample and Joe did great work delivering a mix that sounded smooth while retaining some nice glitchy grit. Excellent job as always.

Joe is a very flexible person to work with. He did a really great job mixing and mastering. From the beginning, he showed a great interest in the project and made the workflow more of a collaboration. He really demonstrated skill in tuning a mix with many layers, ensuring everything sat right and the mix sounded spacious and full.

Awesome mix as usual - I think one thing I would especially recommend about Joe's style is creativity and a good understanding of clients' sound. He often suggests additional elements to the song that really complement the existing instruments, and does a great job of creating mixes that are cohesive in style. Highly recommended.

Excellent job. This song in particular was a bit different in style compared to my usual sound but as always Joe did a great job mixing so it fit in with the rest of the album cohesively.

The mix itself is excellent and definitely a huge improvement over the demo version, but Joe went above and beyond, adding in some extra synth elements etc which took it to the next level. Great work.

Joe did an excellent job taking a song with a fairly dull mix and giving it life and a lot of edge, making the drums hit hard and the guitar sound gritty in a great way. Very nice experience as usual.

Awesome mix, sounds great and he took a heavy song and made it even heavier. Also, very receptive to feedback and improved on things even more. Great experience
