Field & Foley

Today I’m excited to welcome Mattia Cellotto, a passionate field recordist and sound designer whose love for audio starts at the source: recording. With over 10 years of experience creating highly respected sound libraries, Mattia has built a reputation for deeply understanding the raw materials of sound and transforming them into powerful creative tools. His latest release, Animal Hyperrealism Vol. IV, continues a celebrated series, capturing many ultra-detailed animal vocalisations recorded at 192kHz — perfect for creative soundwork!
Alongside his library work, he’s contributed sound design to major titles like Battlefield V and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, as well as commercials for brands like Google and Nickelodeon.

Franck Reisner is a producer, cultural entrepreneur and studio founder. He built Studio89, Estonia’s first Dolby Atmos Music studio, from scratch – starting with straw panels and a DIY spirit – into a hub for immersive sound, mixing, and international collaboration. Today, Studio89 unites engineers, musicians, and composers across recording, post-production, and game audio.
Franck’s vision reaches beyond the studio: he is developing a Music Production House in Tallinn, a future hub of studios, rehearsal rooms, and creative companies, designed to anchor local talent and connect Estonia internationally. With roots in theater and children’s musicals, and experience running professional songwriting camps, he sees music as both a craft and a bridge. His work brings together cultures and partners from Estonia, Sweden, the UK, and beyond — building spaces where collaboration and creativity can thrive.
