Interview with Nuclear Sound

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: The attached file "June" is a song I worked on with a local singer. Before I offered my help, only about a minute of the song existed with the most basic instrumental accompaniment. I'm super proud of how well Em and I worked together to add structure to the song, tweak some lyrics and phrasing, and increase depth and instrumental complexity to make the song what it is now.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Being able to create something incredible from nothing. Having a piece of music out in the world that I can say I've had a hand in making is an incredible thing. Plus, I get to meet and work with some amazing people in the music industry while that happens.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started early in high school by messing around with some basic gear my dad owned, which was around 2012 or so. After enrolling in a college program to become a better, more well-rounded music producer from 2014-2017, I found audio work at the Glenn Gould Studio, and kept finding opportunities through the CBC. I'm now a freelance audio technician, have a weekly credit with CBC Radio One's "Because News", and dedicate all my days off work to improving as a musician and studio engineer.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Creative decision-making. I have a lot of confidence in what works in music and what doesn't. I love subtly tweaking musical layers, and having them work together to create something familiar, yet unique.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My C24 is my pride and joy. Running Pro Tools HD, my board can record up to 16 inputs, which can cover anything from a single vocalist to a live band off the floor.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Most of my clients are singer-songwriters that either need help to finish writing their material, or who want to make a fully-produced track out of what they've written on a single instrument. For a lot of my clients, I act as their "Backing band", tracking my own drums, bass, guitars, and keys, and writing parts for those instruments that support the singer's performance.
