Studio · Ricardo Mendivil
Working together.
Production, workshops, consulting and cultural partnerships.
Each path includes an email prepared with four questions about your project.
Associate production · Repertoire · Artistic direction From the song to the record. I work with artists and labels from the song and concept through production with my team.
I listen to your demos, review the repertoire with you and identify what the work needs: writing, arrangements, performers and sound.
Associate production and artistic direction are developed with my team. We agree on my role, credits and scope before we begin.
Let’s discuss your production ↗Creative consulting · Music storytelling and context workshops The context behind the music. Consulting for artists and creators; workshops for journalists and teams who need to listen, research and tell stories with context.
If you are creating, I help you find the thread connecting your background, influences and artistic decisions, so you can tell the story in your own voice.
With journalists and teams, I work on listening, sources and milestones in salsa and Latin music: how a sound took shape and what needs researching to explain it.
Music appreciation across eras, genres, formats, styles and trends: a way to recognize what you hear and find a perspective from which to tell its story.
Let’s discuss consulting or workshops ↗Partnerships · Brands · Listening Room Partnerships around music. Brand-funded cultural productions, vinyl outros and hosted premieres in the Listening Room.
I work with brands and institutions to shape and fund cultural productions. We can also agree on a clearly identified commercial presence in the vinyl outro of my monthly stories, subject to musical fit.
For artists and labels, I am preparing record presentations in the Listening Room: the work, its creators and a conversation I host. Each session is designed for the project; private gatherings are in preparation.
My experience also includes designing sound experiences for bars, restaurants and an international hotel chain whose identity I keep private for confidentiality reasons.
Tell me about your proposal ↗My editorial coverage is based on the artistic value of each work; hiring me does not buy it. Commercial collaborations are clearly identified.
