ABOUT
I'm Dario Menik and I'm an audio engineer, producer, and sound designer.
Artifacts started small: helping local bands in Florence sound better than their budgets should have allowed. It grew from there, but the approach stayed the same — direct communication, honest feedback, and no wasted time.
I work from a treated home studio, which keeps things lean and focused. No studio clock ticking in the background — just the music.
