About Filippo Gaetani
My name is Filippo Gaetani, I am a music producer, sound engineer and composer. I like to “craft” music and sounds by developing artist’s visions and songs. I help them get the best out of their musical ideas and present them in a way that people will love. I’ve been writing, recording, producing and developing artist projects for over 25 years and still love it with all my heart like I did at the beginning. I have been lucky to record incredible artists and I remember being entranced in many great sessions while recording and I thank all the people who got me involved in their music adventure. I play a few different instruments and love to record and mix music. I’ve been doing this for a long time and will keep on doing so for as long as my ear, mind and body allow! I particularly love the close relationship between music and sound, this is why I became a producer.
I have been working with artists and producers across Europe, UK, US and Canada. Recent and past works and my collaborations include SheLoom, Don Grusin, The 1975, Adrina Thorpe, My Excellence, Martin Klein, Jessie Grace, Papermoon, Andy Bell/Phil Larsen, Digital Noise Academy, Xiren, Peter Doran, Eraldo Bernocchi, Russell Morgan, Stefano Bollani, Erik Friedlander, Malina, Katja Werker..
As a producer I won 2 MTV Indie Pop Ourstage awards in 2009-2010 and as a musician I played as a supporting artist for Miles Davis & Sting+Gil Evans tour in 1987. I am currently collaborating with leading software house IK Multimedia on a number of sound libraries and I am a is founding member of the band SheLoom, Plants That Grow At Night and Q-bizm. I founded recordingfestival.com, and indie label rayrecordings.com. I live in Vienna (and partly in Tuscany). I currently teach and coach students on sound engineering and music production at the VMI Vienna Music Institute (Conservatory Of Contemporary Music).
If you are interested in working with me, all you have to do is go to the contact page, send me an email or give me a call. I would be happy to discuss your project with you, and you can decide if I’m the right guy for your musical needs.
