Eric Liljestrand on SoundBetter

I'm a Grammy winner, Emmy and Oscar nominee, I produced engineered and mixed Lucinda Williams’ “Little Honey” and "Blessed" (the latter with Don Was), artists from Laurie Anderson to U2, Keith Urban, Perry Farrell, Robbie Robertson, Elvis Costello, Ringo Starr....I get a great, organic sound that stays fresh.

I’m comfortable with producing and mixing all styles, though I’m especially good with acoustic and electric ensembles. I play guitar, sitar, bass, a variety of other instruments, and compose. I think texturally. I pay close attention to the artist’s vision and try to expand and frame them the best way possible. I treat small projects with the same care as the mega stars. Everything has to be as great as it can be. I’m easy to talk to, and I don’t get stuck on things...I’ll justify what I think is right, but the client’s vision is the most important thing. I’ve done a lot of avante-garde and left of center music, (Diamanda Galas, Hal Willner) as well as Film scores for Scorcese, Wim Wenders, Robert Altman, Ang Lee and others. Americana and rock became a focus during my years producing engineering and mixing Lucinda Williams, but I have a strong grasp of rock, jazz, classical.

    Eric did an excellent job of producing the big, warm, organic mix we were hoping for! He was easy to work with, patient with a situation of multiple chefs/interests on our end, and quick to turn mixes around. And, he had good creative ideas and played a great bass part, to boot. We highly recommend him!!
