Highlighting the essence of your musical expression.
HUGO PARIS
Future forward engineer
Producer / Artist
I am a seasoned producer, signed to multiple lablels. My work has been reviewed by outlets such as XLR8R, Fact Magazine and Resident Advisor. I have toured both in the US and EU.
I understand the intricacies and desires of the electronic musician first hand. Noise, aesthetics, gear, touring, … - I get it!
While I am solid on the foundations of mixing, I can also handle the advanced tools of the modern workflow required for a current electronic release (complex signal flow / side-chaining, resonance control (key with synths), complex automation, drum layering, …).
Backed by a solid scientific background
I hold a Master’s degree specialized in the physics of sound: Acoustics and Signal Processing.
I spent 5 years engineering on the first project to listen to the universe - aLIGO, 2017 NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS.
I conceived and developed 4ms Company’s flagship instrument the Spherical Wavetable Navigator (SWN): A fully featured polyphonic eurorack instrument used worldwide by artists such as Vangelis (Bladerunner, Chariots on Fire, …), Joachim Garraud (David Bowie, Beyonce, …), Marc Caro (Delicatessen, The City of Lost Children, …), …
I am a Recording Academy (GRAMMY’s) voting member.
