Approach & Person

I work on the sound until it feels right — not until the list is ticked off.

Portrait von Maurizio Zulli vor einer gruen beleuchteten Wand mit Graffiti.

Born in Lucerne in 1992. I produced music for almost ten years before moving to film sound in 2017 — and found my own way of telling stories through sound there.

I work on feature films, documentaries and series, among them L’Ultim Rumantsch and Mindblow; in 2023 I was nominated for the Edi Award. On the documentary Typisch Emil (GORPS Film, 2024) I was sound supervisor, sound designer and mixer — a dense, coherent sound world, much of it built from archive material.

Away from film I explore experimental recording techniques and sound processes of my own. Together with photographers from the National Geographic circle I have combined documentary images with immersive sound design.

Tools

Self-built

When a tool I need does not exist, I build it. Two of them outgrew my own use.

ParanoidQC Audio quality control for macOS

Checks the audio before it goes out — in audio files and in video exports: loudness, true peak, channels, dual mono, clicks, dropouts, metadata. It came out of the eleven minutes after an export, when it occurs to you what you might have forgotten.

Sticker: SOUND MATTERS, soundmatters.audio Custom Gear · Rigs & Cables

The booth recorder that survives a whole festival night, the glacier case, cables made to measure. What I record out there ends up in the films in here — my library is not made of bought packs.

I hand these stickers out at festivals, in the studio and on film sets. Anyone who finds one and types in the address lands at the thinking behind the work.
