Kester Hrubesch on SoundBetter

Hello! I'm Kester, music producer and sound designer from Hamburg, Germany. I love making all sorts of music, however, I specialise in Post-Production and Sound Design.

In the past I've been working with numerous Indie-Artists and Pop/Rock Bands to add a unique sound to their songs. Mainly I work in genres like Pop Rock, Pop Punk, Post-Hardcore and Metalcore; however I also wrote and produced in Pop as well as Hip Hop.

I work in both a treated home-studio as well as a professionally-treated recording-studio in Hamburg, Germany.
I'm working with both analog and digital synths/equipment.

Communication is key; during the time I'm working with a client I stay in close contact so I can deliver the exact sounds the client needs.

Reach out to me at any time if you need help with your songs; simply contact me here and I'll answer you asap!

I was searching for a producer but I found so much more! Such a talented, young and pure artist - I just love to work with him. There is no idea he isn't giving a try and he puts so much afford in every single songs to make a masterpeace.

Interview with Kester Hrubesch

Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I'm producing a song for an Indie artist and a Hip Hop EP.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog! You can do so much with digital, but the feeling you get from analog is the best!
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: At all times I will give my best.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I like it when clients have a vision in mind but still give me creative freedom. That creative freedom let's me sink in to my world.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: If I can deliver/redo specific sounds.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: A lot of my work is sound design for existing songs, however I also produce full songs.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: First, it's about connecting and fully understanding my client. So you will hear questions about your previous songs, previous experiences and references.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: The vibe between client and producer must be ride. The producer must deliver the right sounds, but the whole process must be enjoyable and fun as well.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My Hydrasynth, Epiphone Les Paul, my incredibly powerful Mac Studio, Rode NT1-A and probably another guitar of mine (you can never have enough guitars)
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started playing guitar when I was 12, at some point I started recording and producing.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Bring me the Horizon, Architects, Olivia Rodrigo. There are just too many to list.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Experiment as much as possible. I think every musician once did something random/not on purpose and it ended up sounding great!
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: At the moment I'm having lots of fun with Post-Hardcore, however I've worked a lot on Rock and Pop before.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I would say that I'm always searching for sounds that "have not been invented yet" so that I can bring something unique in every production. I do that by using my analog synths paired with numerous effects for example.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: First I'm chatting with my client about their past work and check out references. Once I fully understand what my clients wants/needs I start to collect ideas and stay in touch with the client during the whole process until the job is finished.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Bring me the Horizon is probably my biggest inspiration; they always try out new stuff and their sound design is on another level.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Mostly I do post production and additional synth work on Rock, Metal and Pop songs. I also do full productions.
