Audiobooks, Feature Films and More
As Gazelien Records has evolved, students have had the opportunity to learn skills beyond the music industry and have gained invaluable experience in audio media and post-production. Below are some of the projects the teams have worked on!

Mappillai: An Italian Son-in-Law in India (2021)
Mappillai: An Italian Son-in-Law in India is a book written by Carlo Pizzati. Carlo’s ambition pushed him to want to create the first fully sound designed audiobook and thus enlisted the help of Gazelien Records to achieve this feat. One year, and one pandemic on from the initial recording, the team was able to complete the project while working completely remote.

Labcast Podcast
The NYU Production Lab, a storytelling incubator, and NYU Abu Dhabi’s Music Technology and Sound Recording group have formed a partnership that offers unique experiential-learning opportunities for NYU’s creatives to collaborate across the globe. By pairing NY-based storytellers with NYU Abu Dhabi-based audio engineers and music technologists, NYU’s global network is expanding career development opportunities for students working in digital media and entertainment.
To date, this international post production collaboration has produced 14 episodes of LabCast, featuring NYU playwrights, filmmakers, and podcasters going deep on the creative process. And plans are in the works to soon be mixing and mastering a Production Lab Slate-supported film, the likes of which have premiered at festivals such as Sundance, Tribeca, and Cannes and reached audiences on Netflix, Amazon, and iTunes.
The Production Lab is grateful for the enthusiastic support of NYU Abu Dhabi Assistant Program Head of Music and Assistant Professor of Music Technology Matteo Marciano who oversees the produced work and prepares students for a successful future in audio engineering, production and post-production, multimedia, audio signal processing, acoustics, music perception, and game audio production.
