Piano | Keys | Orchestrations

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: I know every episode of Star Trek. Also, I always do what is best for the song, and not what is best for my ego.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: I like the combination of being creative and working with music technology. (I love things that have buttons)

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: I ask for a reference track. Most of the time, clients already have something in mind of how the song should sound like. This gives me an idea about the arrangement and the choice of instruments.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: With the right sounds and the right notes, I am able to make your song sound more expensive. With lots of details for the listener to discover, I can add a whole new "layer" to the song.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: I arrange and record piano, keyboards & synths and take care of the orchestral parts. Most of my work is based in the pop and heavy rock/metal genre.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Always make backups. After 3 years a client may come and ask you to transpose the session in another key. Make sure that you can still open the session.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: Rock, pop & metal.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I use Logic Pro X for recording and programming, and Sibelius for notation. For the orchestral parts, I work with the best sample library developers in the industry while I have a huge amount of plugins and soft synth for things like piano, synths, sound design and so on...
