Felix Pong first encountered audio engineering when he was studying at the Royal College of Music in London.
Felix was mentored by Gramophone BBC Music awarded Engineer Benjamin Connellan in this field and the craft of capturing beautiful sound, communicating with musician, enhancing and quality checking are simply too fun to quit.
Engineering has a lot of similarities in playing the violin especially with critical listening where he has been intensively doing for over 24 years. When he figured the equivalent terminologies in the engineering realm, the transitions in between are seamless.
At VIBES TOKYO, we highly embrace the collaborative process and you are always more then just another client.We will try our best to offer you an special experience that you can't get anywhere else.

Interview with VIBES TOKYO
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Up till now most have been classical, soundtrack, instrumental, game, ambience, lo-fi, minimal, Neo classical music given my background but I like blurring the gap between genre and really drawing influence from different type of music. I am also looking forward for music out of my comfort zone!
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Bringing the best out of the artist. Offering solution that backup with good understanding in music/sound fundamentally.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Quality with no compromise. Hopefully something Artistic.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I usually grab coffee / zoom call (online) with my clients because I think while understanding the music "musically" is important, understating the artist personally is equally important in order to share the same vision of the project. Then I will propose how we tackle the project in order to bring the best result accordingly given the flexibility that I can offer.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I carefully picked some of the most sonically beautiful equipments one will ever needed that will complement all the things I do. Check of gear highlight on my sound better profile or Full setup is on https://www.vibestokyo.com/studio-1
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Hildur Guðnadóttir inspire me most as an musician/artist. People making too much excuse trying to fit industry standard but in reality no matter you are starting out or at the top being able to freely express your art is crucial. In terms of engineering, I LOVE the works by GAVIN LURSSEN, REUBEN COHEN from Lurssen Mastering and ZINO MIKOREY. They are just too good.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Hi, thanks for checking out the interview section of the page! As some may already noticed, I am also primarily a composer and a violinist before I started my own studio business at VIBES TOKYO as audio engineer which mainly provides your usual studio services i.e Mixing, Mastering and Recording. Most of my clients take advantage of all the skillsets that I could offer at once to make the most out of the whole collaborative experience. So I could give very some very practical production advise, do some arranging in the project or even layer some strings above your song if it needed before proceeding to mixing and mastering!
