I worked with Federico on my feature documentary and he did an incredible job with the sound mix and mastering. He went above and beyond to make sure I was completely happy with the film in the end. He is an excellent communicator and collaborator. I would not hesitate to work with him again or recommend him to others!

I’d like to thank Rico for his work on the sound design for our short film Homo Umbilicus.

It’s not an easy film to mix or design sound for, and Rico approached it with patience, sensitivity, and great attention to detail. The result feels cohesive and alive without drawing attention to itself - exactly what the film needed.

Really appreciated the collaboration and the calm professionalism throughout the process.

Rico was my sound mixer and my sound designer for my short film. His energy, knowledge and passion for what he does makes him easily stand out from all the other sound recordists I have ever worked with.

“I been working with Rico on a few projects now and it’s always been such pleasure to collaborate with him.

He is super professional and creative, he has saved a few of my films where the sound recording from production wasn’t as good.

He is my first recommendation to anyone who needs a trustworthy, professional and talented sound designer for your films..”

Rico helped me create a soundscape for an experimental horror film I'd made that required the unconventional. Not only was Rico easy going and inspired, he was very communicative and quick to turnaround updates.
the film has no dialogue so I leaned heavily on him and his expertise. I'm still so proud of the results.

I've worked with Rico on two short films I directed. He handled sound design, mixing, and composition brilliantly. Despite challenges like outdoor shooting in Prague with lots of ambient noise, Rico worked wonders, salvaging the sound seamlessly. He excels in postproduction, crafting soundscapes and inspired soundtracks. Rico's professionalism, reliability, and easygoing nature make him a standout collaborator. Working with him is a pleasure, and I'd gladly do so again in the future.

had the pleasure to wrok with Rico in London for many years.
I managed his gigs as a dj for a while, we did many events together and I was always a good "hear" for his music. I personally always loved his music production, that has been changing and getting more profound over the years.
Rico has growed a lot since we first met back in 2006, both as a person ad profesionally. He aquired many more skills that helped him to work all around the world in the music industry.
He is highly skilled in Ableton and he is a very good teacher, I really reccomend his Ableton classes.
He is professional, well mannered and very passionate about his jobs. His love for music is what makes the real difference.

I’ve recently worked with Rico for the first time on a short film as my sound designer and sound mixer!He was recommended to me by my producer and best friend and it was safe to say everyone i’d ever worked with, that had worked with him, had nothing but a glowing recommendation and words of admiration for him.Rico is incredibly reliable, calm and collected and wickedly talented. For someone like me - an amateur when it comes to the world of sound in general and it only being my first time working with a professional sound mixer, I found working with Rico insanely easy. He was very efficient and kind. He went to great lengths to aid in speeding up the post process for the film so that we could hit our desired deadlines. It took only a voicenote on Whatsapp and a few emails for Rico to fully grasp what i was after, to then go on to create a great and purposefully-layered soundscape for my film. 
If what you’re after is pure talent and dedication as well as true collaboration.
