Audio Engineering & Music Productions
What We do:
We work closely with the artist and develop the song from the ground up: the artist propose a song, we then take it in and develop the idea.
Using high quality samples and instruments we can program and build the whole song structure during the pre-production process: working on the song arrangement and style right from the very early stages. after that the song develops even further thanks to the huge selection of great musicians we work with, each one specialized in one instrument: delivering the perfect performance and mood for the song.
Why We are DIFFERENT:
Vintage Productions detaches from modern production companies as we have found that in the modern world recordings lack personality: they sound very flat, without depth and character.
Being Musicians FIRST but with the expertise of being Audio Engineers and Electronic Technicians, we customize and build our own gear to shape the sound from the early stages using boutique equipment, carve the musical panorama around the artist whilist recording and create a unique and characteristic SOUND.

Mattia Sartori
Started playing at the age of 10 and then at the age of 12, thanks to his passion, started a private music college in Venice , which gained him a certificate in year 2000.
While expanding the musical side he also studied electronics for 5 years (directly comparable to a BSc) and decided to carry on the same direction taken years before: music and technology as a synergic entity.
At the beginning of 2003 he enrolled at SAE technology college London and gathered the Audio Engineer diploma at the end of 2004. In the same year he started working at Mayfair Recording Studios (London- www.mayfairstudios.co.uk) as maintenance engineer. Having the chance to work with one of the top english engineers and producers, John Hudson, meant he could be led through the various and difficult steps of music recording with special attention to the technicality of the whole process, as well as the human side of things.
In 2006 he took a break from London and went to work at Angel's Wings Studio (www.angelswings.it) where, with Nico Odorico, studio owner, he refurbished the control room, adding acoustic treatment, suffit mounting the main speakers and built a new rack containing area. Pushed by a growing impulse they started buying and collecting Vintage gear, which he accurately restored to original specs,exponentially increasing the amount of outboard processing units available to the engineers.
His background and experience allowed the studio to invest money on R&D developing a different approach to modern recording and mixing techniques: they started building and customizing gear.
In 2008 He moved back to London to extend his experience as musician/tech and March 2008 he got employed as full-time engineer at Funky Junk LTD, which meant confirming the technical background while expanding his musical knowledge in a beautiful and busy place like London.
April 2008 He worked as Sound Designer for "All Bob's Women" a West End show in Leicester Square, where he had the chance to work with people like Musician/Composer Sascha Puttnam, Director Russel Labey, Production Designer Jason Denvir and Light Designer Mike Robertson. The show involved 5 musicians (Drums, Bass, Guitar, Saxophone and piano), 6 singers/actors using Sennheiser HS2 headsets, mixed through a Yamaha DM2000.
2009 he started working with various young talents and artists in various writing rooms and studios around London, but the growing need for his own studio lead to the concept of Vintage Productions. He is currently freelancing for Funky Junk London, SNAP! studios as well as working with Paul Stacey (Oasis, Black Crowes).

Nico Odorico
Begins studying piano (and music theory) at the young age of 10, and gains his first diploma in a private college nearby Trieste.
This is then followed by an intensive study of the piano with the pianist Annamaria Domini.
Meanwhile the natural step forward was to compose, which lead him to write his own songs, from which the band Angel's Wings gets formed: this makes fir a great experience which will bring the band to play in various festivals,showcases and auditions, one of which in 1992 saw them playing a evening live show at RAI2. They then play in 1993 in a very famous rock live show called "roxy bar" and again in a live show for the national audition for Sanremo in 1994.
Meanwhile he gains a diploma in Science and in 1993 he becomes member of SIAE as Author and Composer, between 1993 and 1995 he attends a BA course at DAMS in Bologna, enroles in SAE Milan(school of Audio Engineering) in 1997 which will lead him on learning in much more depth all the record production and sound engineering mechanisms. During year 1999 the attends the ENAIP "music production course" in Udine to increase his knowledge in the productions element.
Angel's Wings studio opens up in 1997, which started as main studio for the band to record, but that also became a centre point studio for the whole North East side of Italy, where bands could produce their records.
In 2001 with some friends carrying the same approach and school of thought, he creates the Angel's Wings LTD with the idea of develop, create and distribute their music,songs and artistic creativity. From this a Music opera was put together called "l'uomo e l'angelo", based around music and poetry
