About

Hi, I’m Ismael Contreras. I’m a sound technician, music producer and sound designer with over 20 years of international experience across Colombia, Spain and Germany. I specialize in live sound engineering, recording, mixing, mastering and sound design for music, radio, television, film and corporate events. I’ve performed at a wide range of venues and events, from underground parties to corporate settings. I’ve also produced albums, EPs and singles with active involvement in bands and projects.

As the founder of Studio Soude in Bogotá and a working professional in Europe, I’ve produced audio for radio ads, TV commercials, business videos, video art and animation. I enjoy crafting immersive ambience and original music.
Since relocating to Ingolstadt in 2023, I continue collaborating with artists and bands in live concerts and also playing as DJ in different local venues.
