Music Playing, Composing and Recording

Antonio has been playing acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin, piano and keyboards for many years. Also, he has played live and recorded many pieces from his own compositions, and he really enjoys collaborating with other musicians or composers on their music.

Especially with the advent of the internet, one can really collaborate musically by sending .mp3 and .wav files of separate instruments by email or by ftp. This makes it possible for collaborations to take place without much hassle.

Some samples of music composing, playing and recording:

Audio Productions

Antonio has been involved in a multitude of audio recording projects, and these are just some examples of what he did during the past few years:

- Radio and television programme themes, where he composed and recorded the entire score

- Advert production and recording, including voice over and editing. If needed, he has access to some very good voice-overs (both male and female) who would be willing to record any types of scripts, both in Maltese and English.

- Audio-visual presentation themes, including videos and PowerPoint presentation complete with the necessary audio.

- Background music for documentaries, quiz games, CD-ROMs and videos.
