It’s the space between the notes where music is made.

Let us help you find yours.

Music composition, mixing & engineering:

it’s what we’re really good at.

  • Mood

    We work to clarify and define the feeling of your sonic concept and vision.

  • Timbre

    We mix and master to honor your song’s intentions and not our fingerprint.

  • Tone

    We engineer it all: from live, off-the-floor, and basic drum tracking to multi-musician sessions and orchestral ensembles.

  • Feedback

    We consult with you at every stage of the creative process - from concept to finished piece.

We specialize in mixing, engineering, and original music composition for screen, stage, fine art, live, and recorded mediums.

We collaborate in the real-time building of a work piece-by-piece.

We journey the creative path together so we all know how the story was written.

What they’re saying

  • “Dean is a the sort of person that has a wealth of knowledge and the wisdom to know when to use it. He’s not the type to brag, more the type to listen and swiftly and seamlessly execute a task. In other words he’s an absolute pleasure to work with.”

    JAIME LIDELL - Artist / Creator & Host of the ‘Hanging Out With Audiophiles’ podcast

  • “[Van Ber, ‘a nice guy’]...beautiful textures in this song, I think you'll love it – this guy is crazy talented.”

    RICH TERFRY - Host of CBC Radio Drive

  • “[Van Ber] show[s] great leadership as a collaborator and expert in sound engineering and music performance. [He] is a very kind and empathetic artist and is therefore a perfect fit for many of our projects that work with marginalized artists and communities. His passion towards equity and inclusion is inspiring and you can see it in his standard artistic practice in who he collaborates with throughout his career.”

    ALAN CORBISHLEY - Sound the Alarm, Music/Theater Company, City Opera Vancouver

  • "It was a pleasure to work with Dean on the 'Go On' and 'Parallel' sessions. In the studio, his enthusiasm is infectious. He's always full of creative ideas and always very present - so when a happy accident occurs he's ready to follow the trail! During the mixing process he's so conscientious, so tuned into all the precise details."

    TIM CRABTREE - Paper Beats Scissors
