I’m Ferdinand S. Pasaribu, a Jakarta-based sound engineer born in 1984 who fell in love with audio engineering as an indie musician. I started as a vocalist with the band Sweet Revenge in 2006 and gradually built a career in audio production, mixing, and live sound. I’ve collaborated on digital ads and online series, including IM3 collaboration work on YouTube, and I enjoy bringing creative soundscapes to a wide range of projects. Since then I’ve worked on jingles, bumper sounds, TV audio production, and live events, always eager to collaborate and deliver clean, impactful audio. I’m comfortable across studio and field setups, from pre-production to final mixing and mastering, and I’m excited to keep exploring innovative audio storytelling.
