My work focuses on the artistic side of sound: mixing music and performance into a coherent emotional and musical experience for live audiences, recordings and media productions. Technical tools are part of the process, but the core of my work is listening, interpretation, balance and sound aesthetics.

What I Do

Mix

Live and studio mixing for orchestral, concert, theatre and media productions — shaping clear, musical, emotionally focused sound for audiences and performers.

Create

Creative sound production and sonic shaping for concert, theatre and media formats — from orchestral balance and vocal presence to spatial clarity and show-to-show consistency.

Collaborate

Working closely with artists, musical directors, production teams and venues to translate artistic intent into a coherent sonic result.
