Rycote sponsors artist and producer Francesco Sondelli

For the recording of his new album, acclaimed song writer, performer and producer Francesco Sondelli has approached Rycote to get hold of some Universal Studio Mounts (USM), our latest shock-mount suspensions for large-diaphragm studio microphones.

Born in Naples, Italy, Francesco discovered his passion for music at a very early age and began to play and compose on the piano and the guitar at age 10. At 15, he had already written a wide repertory of songs, with which he entertained his enthusiastic fans in Italy!

In 2001, after years performing in Italy, Francesco moved to Los Angeles and is now captivating the US and Latin American musical scene with his inspirational mix of alternative pop rock compositions. A committed artist, Francesco has also co-developed, together with Capone, the “Project ReEvolution”, a charitable project for which they composed a song aiming at financing creative activities for children living in the “south of the world”.

His soon-to-be-released album, Invencible, is a testimony of Francesco’s talent and commitment to perfection. And to make sure this was reflected in the quality of the audio, the recording of the album benefited from the latest Lyre suspension technology used throughout the Rycote InVision range, specifically designed to be offering maximum protection against unwanted vibrations.

Francesco says, “I have been using the USM for the last few months and I must say - what a brilliant invention! So easy to set up and use, and so versatile! I can use just about any microphone I want with the two different USM models. I am also very pleased with the quality of the manufacturing and the design, not to mention the unbeatable sound isolation - no more wasted time fixing up old worn out elastics! Thanks Rycote, you guys rock!"
