Welcome to my personal Myspace!
I am Chris. I recently graduated my Masterdegree of my study: Audio Design .
I graduated as an international orientated Music Producer, by producing the last album for the Belgium Extreme Metalband Prejudice and by writing a Thesis involving the production techniques of Grunting (the typicial vocalstyle used in most Deathmetal music).
If you're interrested to read more about this you can download my Thesis HERE
Please note that it is written in Dutch.
I've started my production agency HomeGrown Productions so I can give professional guidance to bands, artists and companies concerning their soon-to-be-recorded album, promo or commercial.
I offer myself as an Producer and/or Engineer and am able to compose, record, edit, produce and mix your product in a well respected environment, with quality gear and a good pair of ears, giving it that specific sound you're looking for.
HomeGrown Productions is specialized in the following features:
- Full Audio Productions
- Producing and/or Engineering
- Small compositions
- Sound Design (Commercials, earcons, movies, soundscapes)
- Live Mixing - Live Productions
I managed to do my internship at the well-known Excess Studio's in Rotterdam, during my 3rd year. They eventually gave me the opportunity to use Excess as a base for my own productions. For that, I am very grateful of course. Whenever Excess needs my assistance with any production, I will work for them on a Free-Lance base.
My musical field of operation is mainly based in the extreme Metal camp. Producers, bands and sounds that inspire(d) me all have a distinguished 'modern' sound that makes the music, no matter how extreme it may be, clear to hear and pure pleasure to listen to.
Having worked with a band like Emeth , and also being the vocalist of Blo.torch, made me realise I was fit and trained enough to present myself as
"The Dutch address for Producing Extreme Metal
But don't let this scare you!
I won't easily reject any offer that comes to me. As the list below will show, I have also been involved with less extreme music, like the band Knocked Out , which sounds more like a heavy Rock band. Even Classical music preserves a great interest in me, as long as I can handle the assignment, due to logistics.
Below is a list of my past Productions, or involvements in Productions through Excess Studios:
