About

Hi, I am Michele (but most people call me Mike), a sound guy based in London (UK) since 2003 and I mostly spend my time locked in a studio with no windows, trying to make weird noises sound good, when I am not out recording sounds on location (and to get some sunlight… on those rare few days you can catch some in the UK).

I have a BSc Degree in Music & Technology (audio system) and have been into making music and fiddling with sound since the tender age of 7 when I was dubbing radio programs with tape recorders; things have changed a lot from those days, and I now have a fully equipped studio where I do most of my work.

I am your man if you need someone composing music, sound recording  (on location or in the studio),  ADR, sound design, or mixing;  whether it’s a documentary, an animation film, or your next single, I can work with you to create the best sonic soundscape to suit your needs.

I started my career in live sound, working for gigs and live events (2005 to 2010), first as a roadie, and later on as a sound engineer; around 2008 I started focusing more on studio work,  mostly due to my passion for music-making, and the need to constantly record and improve the quality of it.

I love electronic music (except trance…) and hip hop; I have a music project that has been on-going since 2009 (aLLriGhT), and a record label since 2012 (aLLriGhT ReCorDs) for which I take care of the technical side of things (mastering, quality control, graphic design).

Through the years I’ve composed music in all sorts of styles, ranging from rock,  orchestral, rap and pop,  easily adapting to projects and needs of clients, but at the same time through a signature sound.

Feel free to get in touch with me through the contact tab for any inquiries or to collaborate on a project.
