Do you want special care for your song? I may be the right person for you. My primary purpose is to understand my client's vision and production, and wishes to give them a voice through technical tools. Your demo, brief, and reference songs help me know your ideas.

I love creating big, vintage but modern sounds.

I will deliver your first mix in a week because I work hard on it to make it of the highest quality. I do three revisions, and doing those revisions via online meeting is also possible.

Please send me your demo first, so I can be sure I'm a good fit for you.

I'm an independent music producer and mixing engineer whose passion is to make great music and make connections around the world.

When I realized that manipulating sounds was my passion, I studied Audio Engineering at SAE Institute. I have been working as a producer and mixing engineer since 2017.

While living in Istanbul, Turkey, I also worked with the leading artists and bands on tours as their live sound engineer. Now I live in Wroclaw, Poland.

    I loved working on this song with Orçun and Stefan. They gave me clear direction and their revision request really brought out another level to this record.

    Orçun has given a new and refreshed sound to my song. His production, mixing and mastering really were the touch of magic I was looking for to bring my song to a higher level.

    What caught my attention is that he was really able to understand the type of sonority I was looking for. It was very easy to work with him and exchange feedback all along the process, and I would definitely go to him for future opportunities.

    Fully recommend Orçun! 😊😊😊

    I have been working with Orçun now for almost 4 years. He has been consistent in his ability to produce amazing results for my mixed songs. I can't imagine working with anyone else because he feels like he is a part of my creative team. He always takes my requests to the next level and gives everything such a nice polish. Thank you so much! I look forward to the next high quality song we work on together!

    Orcun was great to work with, communicated effectively with me, and created good mixes. He listened to my suggestions but also made changes independent of me that I liked and kept in my tracks. All around great experience. Would recommend.

    Orcun was absolutely incredible with everything one could wish for when it comes down to a discipline like this. His ability of empathy combines perfectly with a solid compassion for art and builds a bridge between friendship, arguments and creating the perfect way for a sound. Patient, deeply informed with different genres, market, artists of different range from various circles, a good professional and shows obvious potential to become top class in the game.
