AP Music on SoundBetter

I will help you achieve the sound you're after for a friendly price.

I specialize in electronic music production. I work fast and I like to communicate with my clients to achieve the best results.

I am Gabriel Joseph Pantaleon, but everyone calls me by my nickname, Ari. I'm a freelance music producer based in the Philippines. My roots are in rock (Thrice, Mutemath, Saosin, Killswitch Engage, Deftones, Foo Fighters, etc.) but I have grown a deep love for electronic music (deadmau5, The Midnight, ODESZA, Shallou, etc.) Nowadays I am heavily into synthwave/synthpop and most of my original productions are influenced by that nostalgic genre.

I have been producing my own music for 15 years now. I have learned from music industry professionals and through practice. I've had worked for Yellow Room Music Philippines as a recording engineer and also as a session musician for the Philippines' top artists such as Champ Lui Pio (Hale), Mayonnaise, and Rico Blanco.

Interview with AP Music

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Efficient work paired with lots of creativity and imagination.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Know when you've stepped into "over-producing" territory. Sometimes, less is more.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I usually work on electronic pop music. Synthwave, EDM, melodic dubstep, and the likes. I've also worked on a bit of chillhop and lofi.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I am a big fan of adding dynamics to a song. This helps the song "breath" and come to life. No one likes to listen to songs that stay on a constant energy level from start to finish.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: The most common type of work I do for clients is produce instrumental electronic tracks, either as accompaniment for raw vocal tracks or remixes. I also mix and master tracks for clients.
