Ethos

I work for the music. Not for algorithms, trends, playlists, or engagement metrics. I master records, not content. Content is disposable. Records are timeless.

A record is a complete thought. It requires a process that respects its structure, its intention, and its place in time. Mastering exists to serve that work. It is not a rescue service. It is not a loudness trick. It is not cosmetic. It is a craft that requires judgment, discipline, and an honest listening environment.

I have spent more than twenty years inside studios across Europe and the United States, learning how to hear with accuracy and how to stay out of the way. Experience teaches what no equipment can. Tools matter, but the ear matters more.

I only take on music I believe in. If the material does not speak to me, I do not work on it. If the mix is not ready, I say so. If something needs to be fixed upstream, it gets fixed upstream. I do not pretend that mastering can repair what was never there.

The objective is simple. Preserve the intent. Reveal the truth. Make the record translate everywhere without compromising what makes it unique. I aim for results that hold up in thirty years, not for clips that vanish in thirty seconds.

Albums still matter. They always will. If you are making one, it should be mastered properly. The work should carry weight. My job is to ensure it does.
