Axel Falkner on SoundBetter

Hello. I have been involved in music for over thirty years, firstly as a player, then a writer, then a producer. This was firstly just with my own projects, but I discovered I loved helping others to bring their own musical aspirations to life, and with the same passion and attention to detail...always...that I apply to my own work.

Artists approach me because they've heard what I've done with others..."names" or not...all I care about is the quality!. If you're into great songwriting, I'm very confident I can help you. I am definitely highly versatile and enthusiastic across many genres, but of course there'd be some I'd pass on...any of the "metal" area for instance...I leave that to others :) My studio is a vibey converted brick barn, great for creativity but also acoustically designed for mixing. (In this post-pandemic world my facilities are here to be used...doesn't have to be "remote"). The skills I draw on are various; I started as a touring keyboard player, a role which took me around the world for many years with some big names from past decades. You can assume from that that I can play piano, synths, hammond etc, and that I'm really good at finding sounds / creating textures. I have also toured and recorded as a bassist. Studio-wise, I am an experienced programmer, producer and mixer, and have a trusted network of great players / friends who can provide drums, brass, strings, vocals etc etc. You can use me to do / oversee the whole thing or just lay down one instrumental part..your choice entirely. Let's talk! I'm very into creativity + imagination, and look forward to working with you.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.
