Serge Christen
An incredibly open, transparent, neutral and yet dynamic sound, my go-to for drums, definitely and almost always for toms. We own eight OC818s and when Billy Cobham comes in to record with his big drum kit featuring two kicks, two snares, and eight toms, I wish I had two more of them!;-)
Serge Christen is the owner and managing director of Mazzive Sound Productions GmbH. He is also a musician, songwriter, producer, mix & mastering engineer, graduate of G.I.T. Los Angeles, and has worked as a studio live musician and engineer in Europe and America. Passionate about analog mastering & mixing, but also available for coaching, producing etc.
Serge founded Mazzive Sound Productions in 1996 with his wife Sara. Since then, around 800 productions, recordings, mixes and masterings have passed through his hands. Decades of experience, ears that hear between the lines and his knowledge of the challenges musicians face in the studio and on stage are, in addition to his love of long and deep conversations, his treasures that he is happy to share with you as a studio and music freak.
In addition to technology, his heart has always beaten for his own music. He finds his balance and a lot of fun as a composer, lyricist, singer and guitarist with SirJoe or Modern Day Heroes, especially on the road all over the world.
In 2014 and 15, he was responsible for the architecture, construction management and planning of the new studio building in Bellmund in collaboration with acousticians and craftsmen.
