_ABOUT
WANJA HUEFFELL, RECORDING, MIXING AND FRONT-OF-HOUSE ENGINEER BASED IN HAMBURG AND BERLIN.
GRADUATED DIPLOMA TONMEISTER AT BERLIN UNIVERSITY OF THE ARTS.
FREELANCE ENGINEER AT RENOWNDED HANSA STUDIOS BERLIN FOR SEVERAL YEARS. TOURING WORLDWIDE.
CLASSISCAL BACKGROUND PLAYING CLARINET AND PIANO SINCE EARLY CHILDHOOD.
BROAD MUSICAL EXPERIENCE HAVING WORKED WITH MUSICIANS OF VERY DIVERSE STYLES, SUCH AS HERBERT GROENEMEYER, DAVID AUGUST, JAZZANOVA, ROY AYERS, BERLINER PHILHARMONIKER.
EXPERIENCED IN BOTH MUSIC PRODUCTION AND LIVE-SOUND AND ALWAYS TRYING TO KEEP THE BALANCE BETWEEN THESE TWO COMPLEMENTING WORLDS. NUANCES HERE, ROCKNROLL THERE AND VICE VERSA.
MY APPROACH ON PROJECTS IS VERY MUSIC-CENTERED AND AIMING FOR A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARTISTIC EXPRESSION AND THE RIGHT FITTING TECHNICAL RESPONSE. EVERY PROJECT NEEDS ITS OWN SONIC CONCEPT.
BEST ARTISTIC PERFORMANCE COMES WITH AN ATMOSPHERE OF EASE AND COMFORT EVEN IN MOMENTS OF PRESSURE. BESIDES TAKING CONTROL OVER FADERS AND FREQUENCY CURVES I SEE IT AS ONE OF MY JOBS TO CARE FOR THIS.
I DO STUDIO PRODUCTION AND MIXING, ON SITE RECORDING, LIVESTREAMS, FRONT-OF-HOUSE MIXING. FIRST LISTENING, THEN ACTING, SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE OF MUSIC AS FLUENTLY AS THE LANGUAGE OF SOUND.
