previous work with pop artists
Please listen to these examples below:
“Patrick is an exceptional mastering engineer who I have hired for multiple projects over the years. The most impressive of which was for my album, Heartsong - over 70 minutes of continuous, highly dynamic music where each song needed to seamlessly transition into the next. Needless to say, this kind of project is probably one of the most demanding jobs for a mastering engineer, but Patrick exceeded all of my expectations. Above all, Patrick’s work reignited my passion for my own music, making it sound better than it ever had before. He captured the sound for the album that I had in my head, but couldn’t achieve myself in my own mixes. That kind of skill is invaluable and means I am sure I will be coming back to Patrick to master my music for many years to come.”
