Minutes to Midnight: Producer, Bassist & Sound Designer

Producer specialized in pop, rock, blues, folk and singer-songwriter genres. I use my roots as a musician to empathize with my clients.

Started out in the analog domain, I’m fully digital. Through my efficient remote workflow, I consistently deliver and have a quicker turnaround.

A producer working from anywhere

Consistently delivered for multiple industries, in more than 20 years of experience with clients in the UK, Europe and the US.

Recently, London-based company Unlock Your Sound published my article I wrote about producing bass tracks remotely.

Project management

Through a simple form, I collect the required information upfront and break down the project. I then come up with accurate estimates and build an efficient task waterfall.

Clients can access my workflow in real-time. They see how I’m going to realize their vision and deliver on time.

Hardware & software

I focus on a restricted group of third-party elements. This achieves a triple goal:

• ✋ Setting myself a limit.
• 📚 Learning them as much as I can.
• 🖥 Being platform-agnostic.

Here’s a selection of my other equipment.

Backup & archival

I wrote a blog post about this crucial topic.
