Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started by myself,when I create Vita Odiosa,a solo project in which I work on everything (from composition to layout). I was obliged to learn about mixing and I enjoy it. I've attended a class and take a degree in 2014.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: If they still exist,I'd like to work with Emperor,because they changed my life, in '94
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: 'Till now,I've worked only on black metal and some orchestral arrangments.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I start with editing. Then I pass to mixing and I go on until I'm not satisfied at 101% (I don't care about the time it takes). Finally, I go on with mastering,which,usually, requires less time than mixing.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: As I listen heavy metal (above all black metal but not only),I'm influenced by this production. But also the italian '70 prog or ebm can influence me.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I work from editing to master. Everything I do on each instrument is submitted to the musicians. If tehy agree,I go on
