Boom!Ting! ft. Elfriede Dreyer

While working in Hollywood's VFX industry for 12 years as a digital compositor, I kept tinkering at a small obsession of mine on the side; field-recording. When COVID hit the world I started taking it more seriously and started developing art projects which needed recording, mixing and mastering.

It first started with a cellphone, then a little Tascam, then a Tascam and a Chinese lav mic, and as with all drugs, it soon spiralled out of control and became analog Sound Devices, Oktavas, 4-track recorders and Genelecs.

Speaking of Genelecs; they opened my ears to the world of mud. I like fixing it! Yes, I actually get a thrill out of finding and cleaning muddy harmonics, so that each element of your sound or music project shines.

I'd love to hear what you have created. Let's make it sound great on mobile phones, earphones, Bluetooth speakers and Hi-Fi equipment.

Until then, see my work below for some examples of my recording, mixing and mastering.
