The Artist Check-In EP2: Chris Johnson, Musician, Sound Engineer

The Artist Check-In is a limited series of conversations with comedians, musicians,  authors, and creative people about how they are handling, personally and professionally, the quarantine conditions associated with the Covid-19 pandemic. In this episode, I speak with Chris Johnson, a musician and sound engineer, who is responsible for the sound of this show’s theme song. He is also the bass player for Deafheaven, who had to cancel a tour and are trying to figure out how to record a live album when people can’t gather to watch live shows. If you’re a musician trying to record from home, there’s a good discussion about what Chris can do for you remotely and what to think about in setting up a home studio.  

To book Chris for mixing and mastering and other associated production duties, you can find him at The Electric Bunker. You can also check out his work as a musician in Doomriders and Summoner on BandCamp, and at Deafheaven.com.
