How we work

It starts with listening.

  1. 01

    Your references first

    Before I touch a fader, we talk about the records you love and what your song is asking for. Your references become the map for the mix.

  2. 02

    Listen with me, live

    Remote doesn’t mean distant. I stream my session in real time, in high-resolution audio, so you can listen along while I work and we shape the mix together.

  3. 03

    Your sound, not mine

    The goal is the record you have in your head — finished and ready to release, and still unmistakably yours.

Cantus Portugueses takes traditional melodies from every corner of Portugal and gives them new arrangements, with the colours of classical music. On both of their records we kept the whole group playing together in one room — so you hear the ensemble breathe as one.

  • 20 musicians, playing together

About

Hi, I'm Vini.

A Brazilian producer and engineer, trained between São Paulo and Cologne.

I studied classical guitar at USP and music production at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln, and I've been recording acoustic music and running live sound since my teens. Growing up with Brazilian music taught me to listen for what makes a record feel alive — the weight of a groove, the breath of a voice. That's the ear I bring to pop, indie and folk: a fresh perspective that hears what's special in your song, and the patience to protect it all the way to the master.
