Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I try my best every time.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Its exciting for me. Everything else makes me sleepy.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: - What do you charge for? - It depends on this and that and that and.. I need to know all the details before i can answer this simple question.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Every artist has influences that has close relationship to the sound he is looking for. That's good for me to know.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: wash teeth ever night
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: pc, guitar, paper ,pencil, phone to call someone to come rescue me.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: All services i provide for others are skills i acquired over the last 15 years from my personal productions and from services i provide for others.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Do not have a style. I am very curious for everything to stay focused on one style. I like to get my fingers dirty with everything that interests me.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Thomas Newman cause i love him.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Listeners have a difficult time hearing more than 2 things at once. This is all you need in the foreground. Find your two things and send the listener's ears there. The rest goes in the back.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I work on many different styles but usually you can hear the 'film' sound in everything i do.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My ears hear very well..
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: My aesthetics, my sense of balance, my academic training and my love for music.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: If i am recording for other composers and i have some freedom as to what to record, my main goal is to learn what all other instruments play. I believe that there aren't right notes when sitting in front of an empty paper but there are right notes in front of a half empty one. Basically this applies to all my services. My best results come after careful study of what i am working on.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work entirely in the box so lots of software and powerful pc's.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I love all artists. I am fond of virtuoso players for their persistence and mixing engineers for what they do to our music.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Usually is scoring to picture or not. Doing the whole procedure for my own works and trying to achieve the best sound possible is what gave me the experience and the confidence to do that for others.
