FAQ
What genres do you specialize in?
I specialize in Middle-Eastern, Balkan, North African, Mediterranean, and ethnic, jazz fusion, and world styles. I've played and recorded for a variety of genres from jazz, folk, and pop, to orchestral and cinematic music.
Can I request specific instruments? What's the full list of instruments you play?
Absolutely! I play more than 50 instruments, it's hard to put them in a list. Let me know your preferences, and we can discuss different possibilities before I tailor the recording to your exact needs.
What if I need a custom order? I have something specific in mind that I don't see on your gig.
I’m happy to create a custom offer tailored to your project’s unique needs. Message me to discuss your ideas, if I can't make it work I'll let you know beforehand.
Can I hear you or see a video sample before ordering?
Absolutely! Feel free to ask, and I’ll share examples of my work to ensure it aligns with your vision.
Can you deliver my order faster?
If I'm not touring, yes! Express delivery is available for all packages at an additional cost. Contact me for details.
You are too expensive!
The reason it's expensive is the level of professionalism I put into what I'm doing, and the guarantee that comes with it. However, there are flexible pricing options available based on individual circumstances. Just let me know, and I promise I'll do my best to accommodate you.
What equipment do you use?
Different types of mics for every instrument, including SM81 SDC, AT 4041, Rode NT5, SM57B, etc. I use the Scarlett 4i4 audio interface and Logic or ProTools DAW. My studio is equipped with acoustic treatment for optimal sound quality, ensuring clean, professional recordings with minimal noise.
Do you provide mixing and mastering?
Yes, the mixing and mastering option is available for an additional fee. It's done by a professional mixing engineer I'm working with, hence the added cost.
