Mixing
Hear what's in your head.
Mixing is technical and entails critical know-how and a comprehensive understanding of sound and music.
It’s also a fascinating, intimate art form that defines the emotional impact and narrative of your songs.
Whether you’ve recorded at home or in a professional studio, I'll work closely with you in shaping your intentions and bringing your vision to life, all while elevating your sound to the highest standards.
Sound Design
Shape the feeling of your creations.
An immersive art installation? A cutting-edge game? A quiet, emotional film?
Be it commercial, artistic, or cinematic, I take pride in crafting sound and music that feels true to your universe.
I follow your direction with care, handle feedback with respect, and bring a genuine passion to the work. Sound design drives my creativity, and that same energy shapes my approach to mastering and mixing.

Your Experience.
Unlimited revisions. Always.
Step 1.
Share Your Vision.
We’ll hop on a call, (or exchange meaningful emails), to make sure I understand your vision.
You’ll guide me through creative direction, scope, technical needs, deadlines and deliverables while getting to know each other along the way.
Step 2.
Feedback and Review.
For mastering projects, I'll send a v1. If it lands, we’ll wrap - if it doesn’t, we’ll discuss and adjust.
For every other kind of project, I want your feedback early and often. I throw the colours on the wall and send rough versions quickly. We'll shape the project to your vision over several versions.
This caters to the creative process while avoiding forcing you down a path you don’t want.
Step 3.
Wrap With Care.
Once direction is approved and your intentions are realized, you’ll receive a final version that meets industry standards with technical precision - all while preserving the creative impact.
You’ll always know what to expect, with projected dates when needed, and steady updates as your project is brought to a thoughtful, polished close.

"Jeremy mixed and mastered my band's debut EP, and I must say he crushed expectations - it was an absolute dream to work with him. He is super professional, very passionate, and genuinely cares about bringing out the best in each song. He knows his craft, can work on an extremely wide range of musical genres, and is super easy to communicate with. Thank you, Jeremy, for everything you did to make our dream a reality. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for mixing and/or mastering, and you'll be my first call for any future projects."
Dustin Stern
Producer/Composer
"From the first phone consultation with Jeremy from Backward Clock Sound, I felt somehow even more inspired about my music, and that I had a new ally with genuine interest in helping to achieve my creative vision. Aside from this, they went above and beyond throughout the whole process. Offering mixing advice, and consulting on some creative ideas, all of which seemed to stem from his genuine care in my art. When wrapping the mastering process, I asked if they had any parting comments for me going forward. I expected a couple of points and instead received essentially an essay of thoughtful feedback and advice, again exemplifying how above and beyond Backward Clock Sound goes. This all not to mention how great the songs sounded after they were done the mastering process."
Andreas Helin
Creative Lead, Pinterest
"Jeremy is a musical magician. His energy and optimism make him a ton of fun to work with. In creating soundtracks for the Pinterest stories at Cannes Lions 2018, Jeremy delivered above expectations despite being on a tight timeline. Communication was exceptional throughout the project—working remotely and on a time-difference didn’t affect the day-to-day. He had the ability to handle more loose directions in combination with acting on very descriptive feedback. What I love the most was his enthusiasm to experiment with different genres in pursuit of finding the right vibe for the project."
Dante Puleio
Artistic Director, Limón Dance Company
"A true artist of the highest caliber. Quality work, loves thinking outside the box, amazing to work with, excellent communication skills, timely delivery, and a kind and loving person to share space with."
Denique Leblanc
Producer/Songwriter
"I worked with Jeremy for over five years. His patience, determination and well-rounded knowledge allow him to create timeless audio masterpieces that go beyond the average mix. He takes feedback like a champ and puts a piece of his heart into every track he touches.
Ben Fee
Videographer/Director
"Sound mixing can completely change the viewing and storytelling experience. Working with Jeremy is an amazing experience. He brings curiosity, interest, passion, love, and an insane amount of ability to the table. He not only understands direction in a storytelling sense, but he brings ideas that make the story much stronger overall. His sound design doesn't only feel like part of the entire process, but it feels like it adds so much more than a collaborator could dream of. His work isn't just great. It becomes necessary."
