“Music is the mediator between the life of the senses and the life of the spirit.”
Beethoven (1770-1827)
Beethoven (1770-1827)
The power of music is potent and versatile. It can influence emotions, calm nerves, and bring back nostalgic memories. I realized how music and sound effects can change one's feelings at a young age. Ever since then, I've been drawn towards figuring out how sound can affect the mind and how those sounds are being created. I am making my first step into the audio industry and I am ecstatic that I get to work in a professional studio with an engineer like Zack Phillips as my mentor; all possible because of The Recording Connection.
The Recording Connection has given me a path to the studio and life I've been wishing for. Now every day I head to the studio, I am prepared to learn, work, and get whatever that needs to get done finished. I strive to make sure the end product is exactly the way you expected it to be.
I am driven to learn all I can from this program. I want to grab every opportunity I see and make the most out of each of them. Some day I hope some one will be inspired by my work the way I was by countless movies and artists. Until then, I just want to be a part of the creative and collaborative process. I feel like I'm in the right place to do exactly that.
