I am a full time musician working as a producer and keyboard player as well as a side man on many of the most well-known Spanish bands. This is the authentic sound of Synths and Keyboards.

I’m a passionate about vintage synthesizers and space-age cocktail music.

I have a nice collection of vintage and new gear ready to be in your song. Among my synths and keyboards, I have a fully serviced Minimoog Model D from 1975 and Sequential Prophet 5 rev4.

Among my services, I can offer you to print your MIDI files through my analogue synths. Send me your MIDI and I'll give you back different proposals of sound for your track, right with your exact bass o lead line.

    Working with Edu has been absolutely fantastic. He is excellent at communication, quick with revisions, and provides detailed creative solutions and ideas. I never imagined my song would sound this pro. He’s incredibly skilled at synths and shaped my music into a beautiful, artistic, emotionally driven work of art. His ability to create ambient soundscapes is totally top-notch, and I will 100% be working with him again.

    While experimenting with various analog synth string sounds, Edu didn't hesitate to provide me with a wealth of options to choose from in order to achieve the final result. He's passionate about his gear and is equally patience with his clients!
