Interview with Chris Kahn

  1. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  2. A: Radiohead. They have so many great albums.

  3. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  4. A: Both. Whatever makes sense to the project. I tend to mix in digital and commit analog processing of effects/etc.

  5. Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

  6. A: I will always work towards making the art you want to make. It's not my art. It's yours and I want to help you get there.

  7. Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

  8. A: What you are looking to create? Who are your influences and what inspires you? What is your timeline to finish a project?

  9. Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

  11. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  12. A: All types.

  13. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  14. A: Whatever you need me to. I'm mainly an engineer, but can help with writing if it's helpful to whatever you are trying to do.

  15. Q: What's your typical work process?

  16. A: My work process is adaptable. I do whatever is needed for the project in the most efficient way possible.

  17. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  18. A: A fairly complete mixing, overdub, and writing setup. Tons of instruments setup at all times. For bigger things like drums and strings I either get someone to drums in a commercial studio or can setup remote sessions remotely for that.

  19. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  20. A: Radiohead, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Phoebe Bridgers, Lady Gaga, K Flay among so many others. A good song is a good song!
