SIMON UTER-KIRSCHEY
Music has always been a part of my life. It all began with playing drums in local bands. I recorded my own and other local bands to my 4 track. My love for punkrock together with my interest in gear and graduating the sae institute in 2009 turned me into who I am nowadays – a mastering engineer with over 15 years of experience in recording, mixing and FoH engineering.
I got this experience from working with national and international guitar-driven artists – from Brant Björk and Deap Valley to Reptile Youth to KMPFSPRT – and so many other similar-genre-bands.
So, I love what I do, have a feeling for musicality and will give your music (!regardless of type!) a better chance to listen to!
