Antonio Romero

My Dolby Atmos 7.1.2 room is officially up and running. Exited for 2025 and all the incredible projects coming next!

Pictures you can smell

This is why I love exploring libraries, instruments, and the unpredictable noises of everyday life. You never know when that one sound will strike, sparking a cascade of ideas. Have you ever had a sound do that for you?

It’s as if the sound opens a door to the cue you’ve been waiting to write. Suddenly, you’re not staring at a blank session anymore, you’re following the breadcrumbs it’s leaving for you.

For me, these moments usually come from a sound that tells its own story. Some sounds carry a mood so powerful that they instantly suggest melody, harmony, and rhythm. It’s less about "composing" and more about listening to what the sound is asking you to do.

Sometimes, all it takes is one note to unlock a whole world of music. There’s a magic in discovering a sound so evocative, so perfectly in tune with your emotions or vision, that the music begins to write itself.

Now, I’m hungry

Dear Amazon,

That yellow vest I looked at two years ago was for a Halloween costume. Please stop showing it to me. I don’t like it, I don’t want it, and I’m never going to buy it. I promise, if I ever decide to embarrass myself and wear one, I’ll let you know.

Three albums I love in the early morning that pair perfectly with my black coffee

Beck: Morning Phase
Jóhann Jóhannsson: Free the Mind
Ted Greene: Solo Guitar

Received some messed-up AAFs, so I guess it is coffee break time while they fix them

And on this new episode of Stupid Things That Can Ruin My Day, a fly sneaks into the studio behind me. 🫠

I share my name with two famous people. One was a 1960s bullfighter. The other? One of the guys behind the Macarena. Yep, that Macarena. Quite the legacy to live up to, huh?

Here’s a link to a song Isabel Pantoja, the Spanish singer, dedicated to the bullfighter: youtu.be/NwqGihyeehU?...

Watching It comes at night with Pippa

Want a clear sign that allergy season is here? I went to an Austin Symphony concert last night, and it felt like the entire audience was auditioning for a cough choir. Fantastic music, with a side of sniffles and throat clears. Welcome to fall in Austin!

Spain now has a digital nomad visa, btw.
