Interview with Francesco Binanti

Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Working on the new EP of "Gods of the Sun" called "Fantasmagoria", a band based in Grenoble.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: That's a bit of a steril discussion in my opinion. If I really have to answer: whatever sounds good in a specific situation. We all love turning knobs I know, but digital can also make wonders.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I'll have to go with the diversity of each musician's mind.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: The biggest for me: that mixing is there to "fix" a bad recording. This is very wrong on many aspects.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What is the feeling that this song has to convey? Is it part of a bigger concept?
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: A fast initial mix with a strong creative direction.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: You will enjoy listening to your own music.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Nervy, eclectic, colorful.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Spend a lot of time to have a good recording at the source: right sound and right feeling. After that, most of the work is already done and mixing/mastering will only have to give a spark on top of that.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Specialized in rock-related genre, but I would really love to dive into something else at some point.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I try two balance two things: 1. creativity and a new color to the song 2. how it should sound in the musicians's mind.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: First and foremost: discussion with the artists. Understand their vision, and what they want to convey. Then ask to fill up a small form with particular request about the mixing/mastering, if any. Then after having received the stems, I start work right away to give a strong direction. I like to stay in touch with the artists in order to converge towards the best result for them.
