Mastering studio since 2001. Taking time to work together with the artists to get the result they are most happy with. Handling various genres with the aim to provide the customer with maximum value for their money.
Started out in a industrial band and ended up doing the mastering myself because of the costs and it turned out that I had a knack for it. 20 years later I'm still enjoying tackling songs and getting a kick out of getting the maximum out of a song.
Since 2005 also giving courses in order to spread the knowledge of mixing and mastering.
I also enjoy making electronic music for fun.
