Mike Andrews (NL)

Using my artist name Mike Andrews (NL) I released over 10 albums since 1999. It's mostly melodic, easy going synthesizer music. Here is a playlist with the most appreciated tracks according to Spotify.

film : Flip A Coin

I had the pleasure of scoring the incredible sports/action film 'Flip A Coin'. The amazing footage immediately inspired me and it was great to work with directors Maarten Kemp and Henk van den Doel. You can listen to the complete soundtrack on Spotify.

game : RoidBlaster

Independant game developer Brainwave Games asked me to create music for their wonderful shoot-m-up Roid Blaster. As they needed "very spacey immersive music", this was a project that immediately grabbed my attention. I'm still very pleased with the end result. You can listen to the complete soundtrack of the game on Spotify.

game : Trash Cat

This was actually an assignment when I did my professional education as sound engineer/producer at Sound Education Nederland (SEN). The goal was to make so called 'adaptive music', meaning in this case that the faster the cat runs, the more exciting the music needs to be. I had a great time creating this!

Do you need music?

If you need music or sounddesign for your YouTube video, film, game, documentary, commercial or other project please don't hesitate to contact me!

Mixing

So you've produced a terrific piece of music, that's great! Of course now it deserves a well balanced, professional mix and I'll be glad to help you with that.

I am the proud owner of Kii Three monitors. The Kii's, along with numerous plugins from Waves, UAD, Acustica, and Softube, are my primary tools to get the most out of your track.

'The perfect mix' is an illusion, just like a perfect world is. Nevertheless I stubbornly always try to get that perfect mix while asking myself questions like:

• Does it have maximal impact, do the emotions come across?
• Does it sound alive, dynamic and energetic?
• Do the individual instruments have enough room to play their role?
• And do their places in the mix give justice to their role?
• Can I listen to it over and over again without getting ear fatigue?

In the end the goals is to get the dopamine levels of the listeners up, give them goosebumps. And no, there still isn't a single plugin or piece of hardware that does that yet ;)

prices per track

• Is your track longer than 10 minutes? Please contact me for a quote
• Do you want to mix more than 3 tracks at once? Please contact me for a quote

Mastering

So you've worked really hard on your mix and you are ready to release it to the world. Or are you?

It's always a good idea to have a mastering engineer make the final checks and adjustments.

• Will your track translate well on all speaker systems (including mono systems)?
• Is the tonal balance really the best it can be?
• Does it feel really dynamic and 'alive', do the emotions come across?
• Are you sure you won't be 'punished' by loudness penalty systems?
• Etc. etc. etc.

I am the proud owner of Kii Three monitors. The Kii's, along with numerous plugins from Waves, UAD, Acustica, and Softube, are my primary tools to get the most out of your track.

You'll be amazed how with a bit of polishing, love and attention your track can go next level!

about

This is me, well many years ago that is. My name is Michael Huisen and I was born in the 70's as you can probably tell from the picture. My dad Evert is a real music lover, and as you can see in the picture he raised me well from the very start. Our family did not own a car, my dad wisely invested in a terrific collection of tapes, records and later CD's with fantastic music instead. It was kind of having Spotify at home before the internet even existed.

At the age of 12 I discovered electronic music by Vangelis and Jean-Michel Jarre and I was instantly hooked. From that moment on I really began obsessing about synthesizers and sound in general.

Somewhere in my 20's I bought my first synthesizer and started producing music myself. These were the early days of mp3.com and I did pretty okay there under my artist name Mike Andrews (NL).

Through the years I became more skilled at producing, but also the process of mixing and mastering music. Working on music (as much as a struggle it can be sometimes) is simply one of the most satisfying things in life, I love it!

In 2020 I decided to up my game and started a professional education as sound engineer/producer at Sound Education Nederland (SEN). I graduated cum laude in 2021 and I'm still very thankful for this wonderful experience that has taught me so much. I'm also very honoured to be a teacher of the synthesis class for SEN now!

For some reason my dad used to label his homemade tapes 'made by Malibu Productions'. Until today, he still doesn't know why he did this or even how he came up with this, but when I started my own business it was very clear to me that the name should be malibuproductions.nl. Thanks Dad, for everything!

So, if I can help you with producing, mixing or mastering music, don't hesitate to contact me!

Yours,
Mike
