audio engineering

during my time at the Catalyst Institute in berlin, i honed in on the art and science of capturing music and sound. a recording is an extremely valuable asset as it captures the energy of otherwise fleeting moments.

i don’t believe that it takes large scale studios to make a good recording and i am more than happy to come up with creative ways to capture your sound, wherever that might be.

after discussing your aims, i will propose ways of accomplishing them. this can range from me organizing and engineering sessions in conventional studios over outdoor field recordings to more budget-friendly home recordings and hybrid approaches between digital and analog techniques.
