Whenever we are asked to organize and realize a soundtrack or whatever musical project, we take care of the whole process, choosing the best musicians and soloists according to the composer’s needs.
This applies not only in Italy but also abroad.
In case of projects with orchestras, we can also arrange the recording in Sofia (Bulgaria) when, due to either economical or artistic aspects, it is suggested not to record in Italy.
We have been operating in Sofia since 1992 where we have recorded more than 300 soundtracks and other musical projects.
The July 2013 agreement with the Bulgarian National Radio and its symphonic orchestra allows us to have an orchestra which does not need to be introduced as existing since 60 years it is one of the most known in Europe. The symphonic orchestra is composed by 95 elements, the Big Band Orchestra, a 80 elements choir and treble voices. The technical quality is also very accurate as recording is done in the Auditorium of the Bulgarian National Radio which can contain as much as 200 musicians.
The Auditorium has a top of the art technical direction equipment.
