I have extensive experience in the restoration of audio soundfiles. The restoration catalogue page offers an overview of the highlights.
During a restoration process the available source material is digitized, analyzed and restored digitally with high resolution software. I have access to professional, calibrated reproduction equipment for the digitization of any format. Past and current clients are mostly music labels that aim to re-release music that has been unavailable for decades. Genres range from sound poetry to classic electronic music. I have worked for music labels like Vinyl On Demand, Metaphon, Art Into Life, Sub Rosa. Recent projects I worked on were in tandem with the University of Huddersfield. Currently I am producing a series of remasters of 20th century Dutch electronic music.
Since so much depends on the quality of the source material it is quite difficult to put a fixed price tag on a restoration project. Every restoration project starts at a different level.
My standard hourly fee for this work is 75 euros (ex VAT). After you contact me we discuss your ideas for the project, the source material and the projectgoal.
During the project I keep in close contact with the contractor. Sometimes we do research into the context of the music production and background and philosophy of the composer (philological research). The analysis is presented in a report and suggested end result.
The end product is a high resolution master, with a detailed report of all the edits.
It all starts with a first talk. First advice is free. 🙂
