I am a creative imx engineer with a lot of focus on electronic and experimental sounds.
Hey there!
I am a London based mix engineer. I work mainly in the electronic music/avant garde field. I have a really honest but extremely weird approach to mix and whatever concerns music. My goal is to make things sound so good that anything else becomes just pointless.

Working with Pietro has been a surprising experience so far, he is not only a talented producer but also an impressive musician and a thoughtful person.
To say "highly recommended" would be an understatement.

Pietro is a good producer. Very professional and committed. That’s why I work and will keep working with him on my project. I totally recommend him!
Pietro is an asset to anyone who works with him, musician or otherwise, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Catch him quick before he reaches the stratospheric industry heights that await him.
As a first collaboration I can only be satisfied. Is not easy to find someone who works by your side step to step and listens to your perplexities or ideas, someone to have dialogue with during the production and mixing work. I consider Pietro very professional as well as talented and I highly recommend him to those looking for a sound that accompanies their voice.
I am currently working with Pietro, remotely. He nailed the sound I had in my head from the very first demo and produced it accordingly, sometimes pleasingly surpassing expectations. We are at the beginning of our collaboration, but I couldn't be happier.
Took on the work without hesitation and delivered! What can i say , Extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. Offered suggestions and production notes only when needed. Diligently worked on the the track and gave regular updates and feedback quickly all the way to the finish line! Will absolutely recommend and will be working with Pietro again very soon.
I had, and still have, the pleasure to work with Pietro Cavassa on the soundtracks for sound reactive and interactive media art videos and installations. It's not so easy for a composer to work on such stuff, but working with Pietro worked from the first try.
He has a fantastic sense of rhythm and composition, he totally got the concepts of my artworks and composed soundtracks that fit perfectly and work together with the images.
I felt he was with me from the first try, and it's very rare for my experience.Pietro is incredibly easy to work with. I brought him my ideas and problems to solve for a dance performance track and he took them all on and made them better than I had imagined they could be. His knowledge of sound design is extensive and you can trust that he will find a way to give you the best outcome possible.
Highly dedicated, competent and absolutely reliable, Pietro is a producer that enhanced my ideas and took the music on an upper level and a new better sound. It was a great and fun experience to collaborate with him, I can't recommend him enough.
It was a pleasure to work together on a collaborative ep, production and various other projects. He's the real professional guy; talented, creative and technically skilled.
It would be great to work together again.Very nice guy!With professional attitude and a strong critical thinking very useful in any occasions!Last but not least if your looking for new sounds Pietro is the right guy!
Really loved to work with Pietro. Experimental, a professional and very open-minded soul. Would love to work with him again!
Very passionate and reliable, super creative, will flip a song and make it pop or be super transparent in the mix depending on what you need. Super quick turnarounds, 100% would work with Pietro again.
Known Pietro for a very long time. A true professional and a creative hurricane.
Reliable, careful and creative. He really knows the job and how to do it right.
Pietro's skills ? Humanity, sensitivity, professionalism, competence. Working with him is growing up with him.
