mixing is an act of translation — translating an artist’s intention, emotion, and narrative into a finished record that connects immediately and durably with the listener.

For me, engineering isn’t just about sound, but about time, flow, and empathy: understanding how a song wants to move, where the vocal should lead or dissolve into the band, and how each moment serves the larger arc. I work by listening for intention first — not in technical terms, but in feeling, shape, and momentum — and let technique operate quietly in service of that goal.

By speaking the artist’s language rather than hiding behind jargon, and by treating the mix as a continuous journey rather than a collection of parts, I aim to create records that feel cohesive, emotionally honest, and alive. Ultimately, my role is not to impose myself, but to help the artist fully recognize their own vision — and to ensure it reaches the listener exactly as it was meant to.
