ENGINEERING

The iconic 'made in Italy' tag has become synonymous with elegance, desirability and clearly represents the legendary Italian quality of craftsmanship. With that rich heritage embedded in me, my goal is to make your Song shine at its best.
My Mixing process is deeply precise, just what you might expect from an Engineer whose career depends on meticulous and uncompromising attention to detail. No two Songs are ever the same but I dedicate my complete attention to a number of mutual aspects, like the specific vision, focus, proportions, punch and energy trends of the piece. I carefully refine the intelligibility, sonics, depth, width, soundscape, brightness, integrity, charisma, message, recognizability and forwardness. This and more is done to consolidate your creation into a timeless one of a kind experience.
My work is cherished by your favorite stars. I have years of experience at the disposal of sophisticated international clientele. The best thing about it is that you can be part of the exclusive 'click' and have a lifetime to enjoy your Music Mixed by
IRKO, the Audio Nutritionist.
