About

Hi, I’m Adrian. I design sound, finish mixes, and write music for games, films, and ads. Over the years I’ve worked on projects that brought together dialogue, sound effects, and music into one mix where everything works together. That’s the part I enjoy most, when everything connects and the story comes through.

I like contrasts: cinematic textures with raw acoustics, synths with real spaces. I don’t think in genres, if something works, I’ll use it. Collaboration matters. I keep things organized and the vibe relaxed, because the best ideas often come from bouncing off someone else. Deadlines are part of the job, and I’m fast with editing and polishing, but I make sure the result fits the project.

When I’m not in the studio, I’m usually playing games with friends, geeking out over synths and microphones, or spending time outdoors. I love nature and prefer spaces filled with plants and natural light. My partner in crime is my beagle, Emma, who’s been by my side both in and out of the studio. By now, I’m pretty sure she’s secretly an audio expert, though she works exclusively for treats.
