Hi, I'm Sef, a musician who does production, mixing and mastering. I love sound, I love certain timbres, patterns, chords and melodies. I get excited when things sound beautiful. I love how music can stretch and tighten up time. I'm here to help you with your ideas in any way I can. To get an idea of who I am, check out my website.
I do music since a long time, mostly on my own. I trust the quality of my work and I really work hard on the projects I get sent. I care about the music, I listen carefully and try to understand the intent. I also communicate as much as possible if I'm not quite sure what to do until I fully get it. I will be honest, direct and open during the process. Yup, that's all I can say. Hope I can help.
