He has just recently set up his own record label called Sound Shaper Records, where current projects include a pop project with Dirk Schweer, releasing a psychedelic Turkish album with the artist Metu, releasing records and videos (for an ethno electronic track and a 1920’s swing song) as well as developing an incredible young talent which we aren’t allowed to name- just yet!
He describes meeting and learning from Bruce Swedien as one of my most amazing experiences in his life. It wasn’t only his technical brilliance of approaching the musical canvas, it was also his extraordinary and humble character which amazed those who spent time with him. He would always say to all of the students: “Music first! Listen to the music and try to feel it before touching any of the dials…and forget about all technical details, instead try to transfer the spirit of the music to the listener”. Sometimes people would ask: “How did you do this sound or that sound on specific songs of Michael Jackson”, to which he would reply “I can’t remember, it’s over 30 years back…and it doesn’t matter…dont think to much about the technical stuff, always trust your ears!”[/cs_text][x_gap size=”30px”][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/4″ style=”padding: 0px;”] [/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]
