About me

My name is Diego Ezpeleta and I specialize in sound engineering for different types of ensembles, ranging from classical to modern productions in jazz, blues, rock, electronic and experimental music.

As a music producer I also create original scores, compositions and sound design for documentary films and audiovisual productions, where I combine the use of acoustic atmospheres, live instruments and electronic sounds.

Graduated from Abbey Road Institute Amsterdam, I also interned at Galaxy Studios in Belgium, where I gained broad experience in orchestral recordings and film post-production.

Currently based in Costa Rica, I have collaborated with local and international artists from places such as Estonia, Netherlands, France, Greece, Belgium, UK and USA.
