Ismael “SiKo” Antico
“Currently, I specialize in sound system integration and live sound engineering. My work involves designing, setting up, and fine-tuning sound systems for a wide range of events, from large-scale concerts to corporate functions and festivals. My role as a Sound System Engineer extends beyond just technical setup — it’s about ensuring that every element of the audio system functions harmoniously, providing exceptional sound quality for both the performers and the audience.
I work closely with event organizers, technical teams, and artists to understand their specific needs and deliver the best possible sound experience. This includes selecting the right equipment, calibrating the system, and optimizing acoustics for the venue. Whether it's tuning the system for perfect clarity or ensuring smooth signal flow, my goal is always to create a seamless and immersive auditory experience.
In addition, I am dedicated to staying at the forefront of audio technology, constantly learning and adapting to the latest developments in sound systems.
Ultimately, my aim is to provide flawless sound with L-Acoustics and K-Array PA Audio Systems. “

Born and raised in Switzerland, I was fortunate to benefit from the organized and meticulous mentality that characterizes my country. As the son of an Italian musician, I was immersed in the world of music from a young age. Improvisation, composition, and recording sessions were a regular part of my upbringing. At the age of 7, I programmed my first sequencer, and by the age of 10, I was already participating in jam sessions as a drummer.

After completing my studies at a vocational school focused on electronics and automation, I naturally gravitated toward applying my technical skills in the audio industry. With a knack for coordination and organization, I started in the music business by promoting international concerts, often self-financed, while also working as an audio technician. Realizing that there was a lack of specialized audio rental services for "black music," I founded my own company, Soundimension Live, in 1997.
Following my higher education, I sought to share my knowledge by teaching adults at the SAE Institute. In 2003, I went on to create Soundimension Studio.

Definitly “black Music” forged, but driven by ambition, I never hesitated to work with a diverse range of international artists across many genres, including jazz, soul, funk, ethno, jungle and rock'n'roll Whether in the studio or live, my focus has always been on ensuring the well-being of the artist, meeting the producer’s needs, and delivering high-quality products for the audience. Over the years, I have also taken on significant responsibilities in managing and coordinating cultural, technical, and financial projects.

My goal is to continue developing my career as a sound engineer within a cutting- edge event/sound company while taking my recording studio to an international level.
