Hiili Hiilesmaa has produced, recorded, and mixed numerous successful albums since the late 1990s. His productions have sold more than six million copies worldwide and have been streamed hundreds of millions of times. His credits include production, recording, and mixing work for artists such as HIM, Sentenced, The 69 Eyes, Swallow The Sun, and Moonspell. Projects have been carried out in more than 20 countries, and he holds credits on over 300 officially released musical works as a producer, songwriter, or arranger.
Music production has changed dramatically over the years. In 2026, artists and bands typically handle a large portion of their recording work independently in their own studios and creative spaces. Hiili Music is dedicated to supporting this modern way of working.
Projects can range from demo evaluations and individual mixing or mastering assignments to full-scale album production.
For every artist and band, the scope, working methods, and objectives of the project are defined individually based on artistic goals and available budget. All pricing is agreed upon in advance.
Today, mixing and mastering are at the core of Hiili Music’s services. Extensive experience as a music producer, recording engineer, and mixing engineer provides a comprehensive perspective on each project, helping to shape a final sound that best serves the music, the artist, and the production as a whole.
Pre-production is also a key part of the process. During this phase, song structures, arrangements, sounds, and recording plans can be developed and refined before the actual recording sessions begin.
While artists and bands can carry out much of the recording themselves, recordings can also be enhanced and finalized at the Hiili Music studio with vocals, overdubs, and other additional recording sessions when needed.
