Interview with Panagiotis Lallis-Pete Lallis

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: One project I am especially proud of is Stavrosi — a Byzantine opera by John Boufidis. It was released as a three-CD production, recorded with Greek orchestras, the Paris symphony, and a global choir. I assembled thirty lead musicians; everything was performed live and recorded entirely on magnetic tape. In just eight months, we completed what had taken years to even attempt. After its release in Greece, Stavrosi was presented at the White House in Washington, D.C., in front of President Bill Clinton and the Archbishop of Constantinople. I am beyond proud of this work, because every note was alive. Every sound was real. The Paris orchestra we worked with was l’Orchestre Français d’Oratorio. They brought an extraordinary depth to the recording, and together with the Greek orchestras and choir, they gave the piece a universal, transcendent sound. The French choir was Ensemble Vocal de la Cité, led by the brilliant maître Laurence Équillebay. Under his direction, every voice soared. That precision and discipline helped unite the entire orchestral and choral performance into something truly unforgettable. The entire project is a profound representation of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It depicts His suffering and punishment at the hands of humanity, especially during the sacred period of Holy Week and Easter. Every sound and every voice was carefully chosen to reflect that deep spiritual journey. Byzantium is not merely an expanse of land defined by the borders of a powerful empire, nor is it simply an era lasting just over a thousand years. It is a foundational beginning — placed variously in A.D. 324, 330, 395, or 476, depending on the scholar — and it comes to its end in 1453, with the fall of Constantinople.

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: "I don't directly recommend others lightly, because every project is so personal. But if a client asks, I tell them to look at engineers with strong reviews, clear communication, and a style that matches their vision—so they can find the right fit for their unique needs."

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: “I never promise specific outcomes in music creation or art, because I don’t believe in saying things I don’t fully mean. What I promise is that I’ll give my absolute best—my knowledge, my passion—so we create the best result possible. That’s all I say.”

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: "What I love most about my job is that every project is a new journey. I get to connect with people, express creativity, and help shape something that truly moves them. And when I see them happy—when my creation touches them—that gives me double the pleasure, a sense of fulfillment that keeps me going."

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: "Customers often ask me about pricing, timelines, and what’s included. But honestly, before I even talk about the job, I assess the person’s character. If I connect with them on a genuine level—if I feel that artistic spark—then I move forward. If not, I’m honest and I tell them, there are plenty of other engineers who can do the job for less, and they can find the right fit elsewhere."

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: "Yes, I do have other clients, but the biggest misconception is that what I do is just easy or automatic. People think AI or quick processes replace real artistry, but in reality, it’s a deep, intentional craft that requires connection, skill, and real human input." You can say something like: "I’m one of the oldest sound engineers still working with analog magnetic tape, cutting, copying, and pasting by hand. This is a rare art today—most engineers just rely on digital tools. But this deep, tactile knowledge gives me a unique edge in crafting a song from scratch."

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: "I ask them what their dream is in music, and if they can't take that leap—if they can't sing their truth—then we don't go further. It’s about building a real foundation so they can stand strong when the spotlight hits."

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: "My advice is to stay fully focused on the business plan from the start. Understand the production needs clearly, because when budget calculations get off—like adding live violins or extra instruments—those costs can explode. If you don't have a clear budget upfront, you risk adding expenses mid-process that you can’t afford."

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: "If I were on a desert island and could only take five pieces of gear, I'd bring my balalaika, my banjo, my trumpet, that cowboy one-string instrument, and a football. Even without electricity, I'd have all the creativity I need—and a bit of fun, too!"

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: "After we get to know each other with the client and clearly explain the requested plan for both of us, I listen carefully to the work I need to create on my own. If I’m not in the right mindset, I set it aside for an hour. Once I finish the music arrangements and programming and I’m happy, we decide whether to go with a live band in a studio or if we’re happy with what I produced at my private space. If it fits their budget, we proceed with either a small or large project. We record until we’re both satisfied, and then I mix it on my own. After mixing, I send the unmastered version, and if they’re happy, I proceed by choosing who will do the final mastering until we finish."

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: "I'm working on five projects in three languages—English (UK/USA) and Greek. In Greece, I’m producing and mixing for some of the most famous artists I’ve worked with for years, while in the US and UK, I’m focusing on my own music, which I also share with Greek artists." That way, it stays clear and balanced.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I prefer the combination of analog and digital because analog provides the warmest sound, while digital is cleaner, but still hasn’t fully reached the level of reproducing all the harmonics of a magnetic recording.

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: "The simplest and most neutral approach is to say that, although I started as an athlete, at some point life led me to music. After that, I studied music, I went to Berklee, to GIT, and so my life took shape on this musical path."

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: I’d put it like this: "I’d love to work with Steve Lukather from Toto, as well as Queensrÿche, Dream Theater, and One Desire. I look for artists with perfect pitch—both male and female voices—so we can craft music that thrives on collaboration, teamwork, and shared creative vision."

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Your strongest skill is your ability to be direct, to communicate clearly, and to stand firm in your experience. You bring decades of knowledge, a strong work ethic, and an honest, grounded approach. That’s what sets you apart—your integrity and your ability to balance your passion with real-world wisdom.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: "My style is unique—it's driven by personality. Every note, every arrangement is a reflection of who I am—bold, authentic, and impossible to forget." That way, it stands out, and it ties personality directly to uniqueness in your music.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: "My top music production tip is this: always follow what truly moves you. When you put your heart into the music you love, that authenticity is what makes the track connect. Never compromise on what you feel." Keep it simple, but let that honesty be the guide.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: I think you can give a balanced, authentic answer by anchoring it in your current approach. You could say something like: "Today, I work across rock and heavy metal, but I infuse it with diverse influences—from classic American bands like Toto to Greek styles I embraced early in my career. In the past, I adapted to what the industry wanted, but now I create what resonates with me—authentic, personal, and true to my own musical voice."

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I bring my heart, soul, and personality to every song, along with my unique style—enough to reach the audience and leave a lasting impact when they hear my music or productions.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I began working professionally in 1987, in large-format studios equipped with Neve, SSL, and Euphonix consoles. At the same time, I also worked on modest systems—mixing on a Tascam 4-track cassette and the Fostex X-15. Over the years, I’ve experienced every major transition firsthand: fully analog workflows, semi-digital systems, digital cassette formats, MiniDisc, and the constant back-and-forth between evolving technologies. This long journey taught me how to adapt, compromise, and keep working regardless of format or trend. I present this background as my true “studio setup.” It reflects decades of real-world experience, flexibility, and continuity—far beyond any single room or piece of equipment. I am fully comfortable working with external rack units and modern systems such as Digidesign Pro Tools and the Antelope Goliath, combined with high-quality microphones and monitoring. My near-field references of choice are Tannoy AMS and Barefoot Sound, which provide the accuracy I trust. Along with carefully chosen software tools—and above all, my spirit and dedication to music—this is more than enough for me to create at a professional level.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: My musical foundation comes largely from 1980s and 1990s bands such as Rush, Queensrÿche, Giant, Toto, Dream Theater, Devin Townsend Project, and Saga. While I have studied and admired many guitarists, only two have had a profound and lasting influence on my playing and musical approach: Gary Moore and Allan Holdsworth.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: Most of the time, artists approach me as a rock lead guitarist to perform solos on their projects, while also expecting my personal tone, sound identity, and advanced guitar skills. In many cases, they additionally request that I arrange their songs, handle recording, mixing, and mastering. However, I deliberately avoid taking on all these roles too often, in order to maintain a healthy balance within the music industry. These are fundamentally different skill sets and should be clearly separated. Doing so allows us to create opportunities for younger professionals in the industry—offering jobs, guidance, and genuine support—while also respecting and learning from elders who carry deep knowledge and experience. Ultimately, professionalism requires kindness, collaboration, and an understanding of true teamwork—something the industry is still learning to fully embrace.
