Weird Music Mastering

I’m Michael Buchanan, an audio engineer and musician based in Northwest Washington state. I offer the following audio services: Mastering / Mixing / Stem Mastering / Audio Editing and Repair / Consulting + Tutoring.

About Me:
I have been working with sound for over 25 years, and I use a combination of analog and digital devices in a hybrid studio system.

I grew up in Anchorage, Alaska and lived in Oakland, California for many years. I have been mastering audio professionally since 2014, and have worked on several digital, vinyl, and cassette releases for a variety of clients. Since 2012, I’ve taught courses in Ableton Live and electronic music production at the Harvey Milk Center for the Arts in SF, the Vintage Synthesizer Museum in Oakland, and also via private tutoring. In 2020, I received a Graduate certificate in “Mixing, Mastering and Production for Visual Media” from Berklee School of Music.

I record and perform electronic music as Identity Theft, and have collaborated on various other projects over the years (such as Abandoned Footwear, Nommo Ogo, and Seacrypt). I also help run the Katabatik label and soundsystem, which has been active since 2001. I enjoy working on all kinds of extreme sounds, and have a true appreciation for the weird and esoteric side of music. My specialty is breathing life into recordings of synthesizer-based music.
