NEW ALCHEMY AUDIO
IT'S TIME TO INVEST IN YOUR MUSIC.
I go by RIPVCTR; sometimes known as VICTOR FOREST, my government name BENJAMIN V COOLIGAN but by most, simply known as VIC.
​
After semi-retiring a lifestyle of touring in different bands and projects, I wanted to pursue my potential as a full-time studio rat.
​
I've since centred my focus on session work, pushing artists to reach their maximum potential through my ability to song-write, produce, engineer, mix, and master a myriad of different genres spanning from Hip-Hop to Pop to Atmospheric Black Metal.
Proudly Canadian, I AM LOCATED IN OTTAWA. I chose to base my personal studio out of here due to its low-key, workable nature. However when that big studio feel is needed, I like to work out of REVOLUTION RECORDING on the east side of TORONTO.
​
My goal is to share the drive I have to create and be a crucial part of the careers of like-minded artists.
​​
Below you can learn more about my work, my accolades, as well as book session time with me - either in person or remote. PRODUCERS - I also have carefully curated sounds for sale.

MY WORK
Tracks I've either produced, written, engineered, mixed, or mastered.
