J.Oliver Wiebe // Olman Viper
Engineer and Producer
The man for band productions, mixdown and mastering is active since 2002 in the name of Hertzwerk.
On duty as a Live-Sound-Engineer all over Europe and touring as drummer with Tutribes, he remains demanded by various studios as an engineer and looks back on a proven track record from any perspective. With the graduation at the School of Audio Engineering (Hamburg), he broadened and refined his musical background by adding professional craft and sharing his knowledge as supervisor and lecturer.
His instinct for the right take and his preference for punchy sound and convincing arrangements has been applied for major productions. Meanwhile he has made his mark as an engineer and producer much in demand. Since 2006, he has devoted his time to his studio work and routinely realizes comprehensive studio work at the highest level.
International artists, bands, engineers and producers from a vast variety of music genres have found their way into his studio and were convinced by tight sound, constructive advice and a trustful and profitable cooperation.
For him, nothing has changed at all: The fever for the next job and its realization remains consistently high.
He has since expanded the scope of his activities to publishing and songwriting to promote bands and individual artists on different levels.
