One song or a whole album, a first recording or a project that’s stalled. We work out what the music needs and help you finish it — the whole production, or just the part you need.
Musical direction · Instrumental performance · Recording & engineering
From the first demo to a finished mix. Musical direction, arrangements, instrumental performance, recording and production: the whole project, or the part you need. Guitars, bass, keyboards and other instrumental parts can be recorded or re-recorded within the production, with additional specialists brought in when the music needs them.

Recorded Music / Artist pathway
We take the music seriously, not the size of the project.
Whether it’s your first single, an album in progress or something that’s lost momentum, you can work with us on the whole production or bring us in for one part.
For producers, studios, managers and labels
Production support that fits your workflow.
Editing, arrangements, vocal production, session musicians, mix preparation and finishing — delivered within an agreed creative and technical scope. Work with us project by project or through Production Desk. Confidentiality, roles and credits are agreed in advance.
Production Services
The whole production. Or the part you need.
Each service is tailored to the music, the material and the work required.
Music Production
From the first demo to a finished mix. Musical direction, arrangements, instrumental performance, recording and production: the whole project, or the part you need. Guitars, bass, keyboards and other instrumental parts can be recorded or re-recorded within the production, with additional specialists brought in when the music needs them.
Project Rescue
For a complex production that has stalled. We review what is there, identify what is holding it back and agree a focused plan to move it forward. Rescue work is quoted separately from any paid assessment.
Additional Production & Arrangements
Build on a production that already works: musical development, arrangements and additional instrumental parts, within an agreed scope.
Track Doctors
One song, one instrument, one specific issue. A focused intervention to repair or re-record an underperforming part — not an unlimited rescue of the whole production.
Vocal Precision
Careful comping, timing, pitch refinement and vocal editing, guided by the song and the artist’s identity. Editing is distinct from creative vocal production and mixing.
Performance Editing
Careful editing of instrumental performances, with timing and feel guided by the music rather than automatic correction.
Session Cleanup & Mix Preparation
Organise, check and prepare existing sessions for the next stage of production or mixing. Deliverables and technical requirements are agreed in advance.
LBM Finishing
Mixing and stereo mastering for a finished production. These are distinct services: choose what the record needs, with scope and deliverables agreed individually.
Production Desk
Production support for producers, studios, managers and labels. Work project by project or through Production Desk, with confidentiality, roles and credits agreed in advance.
Session Musicians & Casting
Find and coordinate the additional performers a project needs. Availability, roles, fees and credits are agreed before work begins; outside musicians are quoted separately.
Studio Access & Destination Sessions
Plan recording in suitable external studios and locations when the project calls for it. Studio access is arranged project by project; external hire and travel are quoted separately.
Vocal Precision
Great vocals deserve careful attention. Not automatic correction.
Comping brings together the right moments from the available takes. Timing and pitch refinement help a vocal sit in the song, while detailed editing keeps the performance coherent.
We work with the phrasing, feeling and character of the singer — including the imperfections that make a performance human. The aim is not to replace an identity with a perfectly corrected one.
Vocal editing is distinct from mixing and creative vocal production. Those are agreed separately when the project needs them.

LBM Entertainment
Producing means taking responsibility.
An entertainment and production company. Recorded music, production services, original projects and live entertainment.
The job is not to add more production. It’s to make the right record: one that still sounds unmistakably like the artist.
Currently in development.
Original Projects & Live Entertainment
Further details will be announced as the projects progress.
Original Projects
Our wider development slate includes further original concepts for music, performance and the stage.
Conceptual image — not a past LBM production.
Live & Stage
LBM is developing a large-scale original stage production combining live music, theatrical performance, visual storytelling and ambitious stage effects. The project brings together creative development, scriptwriting, musical direction, production planning and collaboration with specialists across the live entertainment industry.
Musical direction / Instrumental performance
The producer behind LBM
LBM is led by Hernán Bargiela, a producer, songwriter, arranger, multi-instrumentalist and engineer who trained at Abbey Road Institute London. His work brings together musical direction, instrumental performance, arrangement, recording and production.
Direct involvement in musical direction and instrumental performance keeps creative decisions closely connected to the recorded parts. Additional specialists are brought in according to the needs of each project.
