About Swanfish Music:
Hi and a warm welcome to Swanfish Music.
My name is Ronald Vissers, the person behind Swanfish Music.
I have been involved in music from an early age and developed as a self-taught keyboardist with a strong interest in electronic and synth-based music, influenced by artists such as the Pet Shop Boys.
Over the past five years, my focus has expanded into audio engineering and studio work. I operate from a personal recording studio where I work on music production, sound development, and related audio projects.
While this is not a commercial profession, the work is approached with serious dedication, attention to detail, and respect for quality.
I am open to collaborations and enjoy supporting other artists and creators with their musical ideas.
If you have any questions or would like to get in touch, feel free to send a message.
