I`M IVAN SCHMIDT AND I MAKE MUSIC.

Music composer, Conductor, Orchestrator, Sound designer and Musician.

IVAN SCHMIDT BIOGRAPHY

I don`t like word "composer", the phrase "I make music" is more than composing. It is composition, orchestration, sound design, engineering, mixing, etc. It is critical listening and finding the balance of creativity, vision and technical skills. I support the film industry top composers of the world, music producers, musicians, music supervisors, songwriters, artists, djs and studios.

Extensive knowledge of the classical orchestral forms over analog sound design and a mastery of the studio technologies create tandem which is paired with skill of a multi-instrumentalist. My skills are playing the piano, synthesizers, organ, brass instruments and drums, since my 6 years. I studied music for twelve years. It describes me in the category of the "full contact composers".

My music career started in Slovakia, next in Vienna for the studio as sound assistent where I achieved the new possibility of the composing intro music with the epic style for the large music shows for several years.

My creativity was limited from the technical reasons. A studio time was very expensive and I didn`t have money. I continued in the studies at university, outside of the music industry. I achieved skills, experiences and praxis of professional senior manager for managing, transfomations, security and risks. Thanks to this work I had the possibility to finance my own 37 Scoring Dolby Atmos Music Studio which has the most modern technologies and sound design, on-tailor.

Professional and personal relationships are very important for me, for the best cooperation. I love creative people and making things that will last beyond years. My goal is to be a true music ambassador. I hope you too.

THE SOUND LABORATORY

I love the big symphonic sound, the combination of the analog sound and the human voice. There is an amazing game of the vibration for every element of the sound where you are trying to achieve the emotional mood.

Where you can`t reach the emotional place using the strings, you instantly can use the choir. The voice and the singing, it`s the oldest instrument which a word has never had. It comes from you, it comes from our deep history and our personal history. So whatever you instantly give, you can give a chord piano sequence, you can give two strings and then you can give two voices.

And only one woman voice is enough when we need their instant emotions. And now what else I`m doing otherwise how to completely manipulate people and that`s meaningful.

The great thing about the film world is the possibility to work with the best orchestras and the best singers in the world and you can make music with them. And only costs of it are that you have to try and make it fit in the film.

BEHIND THE SOUND

All timeless contemporary sounds, compositions, designs and mix productions are prepared in my high end 37 Scoring Dolby Atmos Music Studio with the ability to deliver the modern technologies and still keeping analogue ambiance. For natural sounds I prefer various different natural spaces with natural reverb.

I was a member in the award-winning team in the category "The Best Music Show" in 2018 where our team prepared hybrid orchestral intro with techno layering for one of the largest worldwide music shows.

SOUND LABORATORY

I think Avid Protools is as a laboratory, as an environment, where I can create something, my vision, where I make all steps. I start with a vision, recording, mixing, mastering, all steps.

I use hybrid system, it means Protools is the centre of where the things happen. Protools speak with devices, which are highly customised on-tailor for me and again, devices and samples speak with Protools.

I have big gallery of the sounds for various needs. Every sound and sample is resampling by the on-tailor processing, it is my secret weapon. I have 24 tracks of the various mics for every sound or for sound layers of the sound which I can mix down to the Atmos tracks. Whatever instruments which I use are a part of the journey where I`m trying to do it in a seamless way by the hand of an artist.

37 SCORING DOLBY ATMOS MUSIC STUDIO

37 Scoring Music Studio makes inspiring professional Dolby Atmos sound design and music with focusing on the large format music, music shows and films, in collaboration with the world`s best artists.

All timeless contemporary sounds, compositions, designs and mix productions are prepared in my 37 Scoring Dolby Atmos Music Studio with the ability to deliver the modern technologies and still to keep analogue ambiance. Studio has fully compatibility with Hollywood studios.

37 Scoring Music Studio has matchless facilities for all the state-of-the-art aspects of music production, with the perfect flexibility of the sound design experiments for film scoring, mixing or mastering for all audio formats. And of course we love modern music like techno, EDM and other genres, too.

Recording equipment and recording process has taken many different steps and changes. For recording I like primary ribbon and valve mics through Neve Montserrat preamps and the 88R Neve console, converted with the Focusrite RED or Prism AD converters at 48, 96 or 192 kHz, as I need.

Music studio was my dream for long time. The dream has become a reality since 2018. Location is in Bratislava, Slovakia (EU). Secret weapon of the recording is to be transported while for a monumental sound I prefer various different natural spaces with natural reverb. Studio is private for me, it is not for a rental.

FEATURES

I`m using the modern technologies and still keeping ultimately analogue ambiance in format from stereo to Dolby Atmos 9.2.4 and the 48, 96 or 192 kHz sound quality. I`m starting with Apple, AVID Protools HDX technologies, over various synthesisers and workstations as for example Yamaha, Doepfer, Arturia, Moog, Virus, Roland, to the brand of the music studio gears as API, Chandler, Neve, Focusrite, Elysia, Emirical Labs, Manley, DBX, Pultec, SSL, TC Electronic, Eventide, Behringer, JBL, Drawmer, etc. (Note: All equipment and synthesisers did not take on sponsorships offered by any synthesiser or audio-equipment manufacturer.)

MISSION

I like a musician’s natural creativity, sound complexity combined with music theory knowledge and reflexes, as the computers, and creating and performing music with new technology should lead to more spontaneous and instantaneous music creations. In many recording environments musicians would frustratingly play around with interfaces for a piece of music to materialise, and sadly, in some instances, this would result in music the creation by trial and error. This, in my view, was not the way to create the honest music. Also, I don`t like albums of the artists with same music, too, but I like own life and tail for every second of the song with multilayered textures, phrasing and expression on every key note, complexity of the sound.
