The Artist
I'm João, trained musician, music producer, and recording/mixing engineer dedicated to pushing the boundaries of sound. My work thrives on blending technical precision with creative exploration, capturing authentic performances that resonate with each artist's unique vision.
Whether it's classical, indie, jazz, or experimental music, I approach every project with an open mind and a passion for innovation. With a deep appreciation for vintage gear – especially tape machines – I love incorporating analog warmth and unique textures into my productions.
Philosophy
By combining modern tools with time-honored techniques, I create sonic landscapes that are both fresh and timeless. For me, great sound starts with exceptional performances and a carefully crafted acoustic environment.
I'm always on the lookout for new ideas and unconventional approaches to bring into the studio, ensuring every project stands out. My goal is to serve the music while bringing out the best in every artist I work with.
Experience
With years of experience in both classical and contemporary music production, I've developed a unique perspective that bridges traditional techniques with modern innovation. My studio is equipped with both cutting-edge digital tools and cherished analog equipment, allowing for maximum creative flexibility.
