I decided to build Arc de Cendra after owning other studios, focusing on what matters the most to me: every artist deserves the same care and attention, no matter if it's their first release, if they are up and coming or already established. 

 

Every decision in the studio, from the acoustic treatment to the gear and signal chain, was carefully chosen to give me the tools I need to bring out every detail in a record without losing its identity. 

 

My approach to mastering is deeply connected to the emotional side of music as much as the technical side. Beyond balance, dynamics and translation, I focus on preserving the feeling of a track and making sure it connects properly across streaming platforms and physical formats, allowing listeners to enjoy and feel what the artist wants to share with the world. 

 

Over the years, I’ve also learned that not everything should be touched. Sometimes the best decision is knowing when to leave something exactly as it is, preserving the character and emotion that already makes the record special.

 

I wanted Arc de Cendra to feel human, quiet and inspiring to work in for long sessions, influenced more by Mediterranean spaces, old editorial design and classic studios than modern RGB-heavy setups.
