Making Sonic Dreams Come True

My goal is to deliver a musical experience that truly reflects the artist’s inspiration.

From the delicate capture at the microphone to the final master. All acoustic and synthesized elements seamlessly connected.

Providing the experience and necessary perspective to guide an artist’s recording from start to finish and materializing his/her artistic vision.

After playing, composing, recording and producing music for over 35 years, I’m more than experienced to cover the whole process - often starting in a rehearsal room or home studio and ending in a mastering studio.

 

Pre Production

Together we’ll listen to (live) demos to explore the essence of your music. We focus on how you want to present your music to your audience. Prepare, practice and fine-tune performances. We make a technical plan that will guide the production phase.

Production

The mission is to record your ultimate peak performance. Construct and conceive all the musical layers and record everything we need in optimal form. I can assist with composing / soundesign / arrangements, to optimize the impact of every element.

Mix (Atmos)

An important part is to edit all tracks and add FX to enhance the story lines. Mixing is performing the perfect balance between all sounds and instruments to create a magical listening experience.

Mix-as-a-service if you produced elsewhere.

 

If you'd like me to be involved
in any or all phases of your music production process,
let’s talk about your project.

RedHouse is a 65 m² Dolby Atmos calibrated mix and recording studio based in Amsterdam.

It’s an intimate space where musical ideas can be captured quickly, without the flow being interrupted. Everybody works together in the same room, focused on the same thing. The vibe is relaxed, the acoustics are exceptional - custom designed by Kees Neertvoort.

The studio features a beautiful Hoffmann T122 piano, a wide range of instruments and synths, and plenty of sonic toys to spark new ideas. Whether we’re jamming, composing, recording, sound designing, or mixing - it’s all possible here.

I focus on capturing honest, expressive performances from artists who care deeply about their sound.

I built this studio with a simple idea: every recording artist deserves a room that sounds great, feels like home, and comes with someone who knows how to work the knobs.

Unlike most Atmos mix rooms, RedHouse was designed from the ground up for creating music in Dolby Atmos — from recording and production to full 3D mixing. A space where electronic and acoustic music can come alive on a much larger canvas.

Dolby Atmos is more than a new mix format: it’s a new way of experiencing music. It gives artists a larger canvas to create depth, movement and emotion, and allows listeners to step inside the production instead of just hearing it from the front. And it’s not just a niche thing anymore: Atmos playback is quickly becoming standard in headphones, cars, soundbars and immersive platforms. An Atmos mix/production is increasingly less of a luxury, and more a way to future-proof your release.

Curious about how it works and what the difference is compared to stereo? I answered the most common questions here.

Interview

 

The gentle people of Ambitus came over and we talked about my work. It's rare I get a chance like this, and my production process is so much part of who I am.
Happy to share with you:

Ambitus: Online Interview

 

 

“Phaedrus felt that at the moment of pure Quality perception, or not even perception, at the moment of pure Quality there is no subject and there is no object. There is only a sense of Quality that produces a later awareness of subjects and objects. At the moment of pure Quality, subject and object are identical.”

 

Robert M. Pirsig, from the book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".
