I don't work out of a fixed studio. Instead, I work with rehearsal spaces and independent studios selected for their acoustic treatment and sound isolation, matched to each project's needs. That means I can record you in your own rehearsal space, in a room I book specifically for your session, or virtually anywhere in the world. Once the session is done, all editing, mixing, and mastering happens in my own dedicated setup — with the same care and attention you'd expect from any professional studio.

From there, I take your project through mixing, mastering, and full production — for music, podcasts, audiobooks, and video — ready for CD, vinyl, cassette, or digital release.

Here are just a few of our productions, showcasing what we do best. In some of these videos, we've handled recording, foley, production, mixing, and mastering — ranging from singles to full albums, podcasts, animations, and more!

    Red Moon Heroes - "Sonny Two Skars" (Recording, Mixing, Production, Mastering))

    We had the pleasure of working with Red Moon Heroes for the second time. Our first collaboration was mastering their vinyl album "Strike Again", and after that experience, the band trusted us to record and produce their next album, "one, two, three...".

    Here’s what we did:

    We started with the pre-production phase, discussing the overall direction of the album, the individual sound of each instrument, and the artistic vision for the record.

    After that, we travelled to Milan, Italy, with our professional recording equipment and captured the entire album during an intense 47-hour recording session from Friday to Sunday.

    Once back in Paris, we continued working on the full production process: editing the tracks, mixing, additional production, and mastering.

    Here is the final result — one of the songs from the complete album.

    Dialogando con Mi Abuela (Radio Guia, Colombia) Production, Recording, Mixing, Mastering

    Life of Strife Productions did Foley, Audio editing, Sound design, recording live instruments, mixing, production, and mastering for the 16 Radio shows/Podcast.

    Winner of the 2020 National contest for Radio Production by the Colombian Ministry of Culture. This 3 minutes pilot was done for a Radio Station and a Theatre company, so they could participate in the National contest for Radio Production by the Ministry of Culture.

    We also gave the advice in recording techniques for vocals and instruments. We advised our customers about the oder of activities for the entire program: Intro / song / first dialogue / Second activity/ etc

    We would like to emphasise that due to the logistics and budget for this project, the audio recorded by the actors in Colombia, guitars and female singers, was capture with a phone, so we had to create a method, and advice them how to do the recording, so we could be editing, mixing, Producing, and Mastering the audios to commercial standards.

    International women's day MACAM - Foley, Production, Recording, Mixing, Mastering,

    MACAM (Modern And Contemporary Art Museum), asked us to create the sound design for their Instagram reel: Powerful, clear, and make a statement representing womens involved in the art arab world.

    Using our AKG 47 mic, we did foley of a typewriter, every time the photos changes, goes with a push of the carriage back in place. The sound goes right to left, just as if the viewer is the one who uses the machine. The photos change quite fast, so we wanted to create a "Feeling of rush" so we could be emphasising with a clear and powerful message, made with the bell, as a warning to decide what to do: either go to the next line if there’s not enough room for the next word, or hyphenating the word and then go to the next line. Ending with a strong spotlight sound and a push of the carriage back in place, meaning that there are many more women coming up, ready to keep making a strong statement in the Arab cultural world. Recommended to use with headphones

    Dido, Aeneas and the Plague of Us (Foley, Recording, Mixing, Production, Mastering)

    Dido, Aeneas and the Plague of Us (Animation) Foley, Sound design FX, Audio Editing, Mixing Production & final Mastering

    For this project, we did the entire audio production, linking sounds with image and giving a "vintage sound" since that was required by our client.

    We applied audio production techniques and tools. The entire audio work was made by Mao Holiday.

    Main voice was recorded using a phone, due to the logistics and times we were living at the moment: we were locked in our houses due to Covid-19, so we gave advise to the voice actor in how to record his voice so we could edit the audios and still making it sound as professional as possible.
