About
Patric Favreau
Do you see the photo above? For me it is one of the most beautiful visions in the world 😉
Patric Favreau has been passionate about music, recording, and composition since his youth. Holding a degree in recording and sound production, he has had the opportunity to work on numerous diverse projects over the years.
I am passionate about sound (and gear), and I try to stay up to date with the latest developments in the field, such as Atmos, new plugins, and to get inspired and learn from sound engineers and filmmakers through readings, masterclasses and trainings.
I find fulfillment when projects are diverse.
