the zlorngler on SoundBetter

I make experimental beats and visuals as "the zlorngler". I'm looking for more work doing Mixing / Mastering. My own style is a unique blend of Experimental Hip Hop / IDM / Bass Music, but I have experience working with rappers, bands of many genres, acoustic acts and other electronic producers. https://www.zlorngler.com/

I've been producing, mixing and mastering music in Ableton Live for 8 years. I create for the sake of expressing something unique, bringing new worlds of sound and visuals to life. In my journey as an independent artist I've developed a variety of skills, which I offer to other artists for reasonable rates. I enjoy working with people, using my talents to make their music shine even more.

In college, I designed a considerable amount of audio for video games. One of the most common compliments that I've heard about my music is that it sounds like a video game. It's rewarding working with a team, bringing my unique sound into a game.

In all of the freelancing that I do, one of the most rewards parts of the job is working closely with people. I put a lot of value into good communication, so that what I'm doing matches their vision. Even if I'm doing my unique creative thing for another artist, I make sure that the end product is something that they love.

List of services I offer:
- Mixing/Mastering
- Beat Production
- Sound Design
- Visuals
- Ableton Live Lessons
