Interview with Ariel
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I worked on a released single where I contributed to the arrangement, instrument parts, melody and vocal development, as well as recording and demo-level mixing. I’m proud of it because the final track sounds clear and cohesive, and the song itself feels honest and complete.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I’m currently working on demo productions and arrangements for my own projects, while expanding my portfolio with new collaborations.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Clear communication, realistic expectations, and a demo that represents your song honestly and confidently.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That demo work is just a rough version. A good demo should already feel clear, balanced and emotionally convincing, even if it’s not a final release.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I usually ask what stage the song is at, what the demo is meant for, and what the artist wants to improve or clarify in the track.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Look for someone who understands your goal, not just your files. A good collaboration starts with clear expectations about the result, not technical perfection.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style is focused on clarity, structure and feel. I prefer simple, grounded arrangements where every part has a clear role and supports the song rather than competing for attention.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Before adding new layers, make sure the existing parts already work together. If a song feels unclear, the problem is often arrangement, not sound quality.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I usually work on guitar-based music where songs start from simple ideas and grow through arrangement and feel. This often includes rock-oriented and songwriter-driven projects that value mood, structure and performance over complexity.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is shaping raw ideas into something coherent and listenable. I’m good at hearing what a song is trying to be and removing distractions that get in the way of that core idea.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring clarity and structure to ideas that may feel unfinished or unclear at first. I help songs feel more grounded by focusing on rhythm, balance and how different parts support each other. My goal is to make the song feel intentional and confident in its direction.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I start by discussing the idea, references and goals of the project with the artist. Then I organize and prepare the material, handle gain staging and basic cleanup, and build or refine the arrangement. After that I focus on balance, consistency and character to create a clear, demo-ready mix. I keep communication simple and share progress to make sure we’re aligned.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: recording setup. I record electric bass using a Cort bass, electric guitars using Fender and Gibson guitars, and vocals with a Rode microphone. The setup is focused on clean direct recording and consistent results for online collaboration.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I’m inspired by producers and musicians who focus on strong songwriting, arrangement and atmosphere rather than overproduction. I appreciate work where the song and performance come first, especially in indie and rock music.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Most of my work is focused on creating solid demo versions of songs. This includes developing arrangements, recording rhythm guitars, bass and vocals, programming MIDI drums, and preparing clean, balanced demo mixes. I often work with artists who have ideas or rough recordings and need help turning them into clear, structured demos.
