GREETINGS!

 

Hello!  My name is Diego Mapa and I operate Pulse Wave Studio.  A small creative audio studio based in Manila, Philippines.  You can hire us for commissioned musical arrangement and music production for advertisements, visual presentations, jingles, film score, events, track or album production, and other audio needs.  

​

I am an active live musician, recording artist, and music producer since 1997.  I am part of recording groups that operate in both Manila's independent and mainstream music scene.  These bands are called Pedicab (Vicor Music/ MCA Universal Philippines), Monsterbot (MCA Universal Philippines), Cambio (Universal Records, MCA Universal Philippines), Eggboy (Body Clock Records), and Tarsius (Numberline Records/ Body Clock Records).  I also DJ as DMAPS and I am also part of a DJ duo called, The Diegos.

 

I also have experience working and training as an audio engineer and music arranger in  premiere audio post companies in Manila in the early 2000s such as, Road Runner Inc. and Liquid Post.
