Kinosonik

About

Now I'm working at the point where artists, venues and technology meet. Most of my (free) time is spent making sure that what is written in a rider or a production plan can actually happen on stage: sound, lights, timelines, last-minute decisions and all the tiny things that can break a show if nobody is paying attention.

Kinosonik has been my umbrella name for years: sound engineering, technical direction and helping productions to be less fragile and more predictable, without killing the fun.

El Molino

Reopened in October 2024, El Molino has quickly become one of the most accurate live-sound venues in the city. The room was redesigned around d&b Soundscape, giving it a level of spatial control that simply doesn't exist in most small and mid-size venues. Live shows are mixed through an SSL Live L100+, running on a DANTE / MADI network and fully processed by the d&b DS100 engine. The result is a space where you can walk around the room and still feel inside the mix, not outside of it. My role is straightforward and demanding at the same time: keep El Molino at the technological level it already reached — and push it further when the music requires it.

Kinosonik is not a company in the corporate sense. It's simply the name I use to frame the work I do: a mixture of live sound, technical direction, systems design and, more recently, building tools for people who live around stages.

The idea has always been the same: if we can make communication clearer and the technical layer more honest, rehearsals and shows tend to go better for everyone — artists, crews and audiences.

Kinosonik Riders

Out of that same need, I started building Kinosonik Riders.

It's a web tool where technicians can upload their PDF rider, have it analysed and, if it meets a set of criteria, get a validation seal attached to it. The seal carries basic information, integrity checks and a unique link, so venues and festivals can quickly see what they are looking at and whether it is the latest version published by the technician.

The project is being rolled out progressively. If you come across a rider with a Kinosonik seal and want to know more, you can visit riders.kinosonik.com or send an email to riders@kinosonik.com.
