I have almost 20 years experience learning to create, perform, record, and mix electronic music from the perspective of not being musically trained in any classical sense. I came from a direction of listening to music after growing up with video games and sci fi, soundscape and multi media. I can get into the math and physics of the music and sound while keeping groove relevant!

Music Background & Credentials
Audio Engineering and Production, Pacific Audio Visual Institute, BC Sept 2010.
Professional Experience
While making my own music without aim to tour or sale, I have spent time working on other's music as a recording or mixing engineer. I have also done work on audio and video editing for various individuals and companies.
Teaching & Other Details
I have experience with the full process of sound design to home studio design to recording to editing to mixing to "mastering" to distribution. I want students to understand what the musical sound is doing, what their computer is doing digitally, how to compare the musical and digital concepts. The way some might talk about "finding their voice" - if you feel a musical direction pulling you, you can probably figure out how to make sounds like that.
Availability
Evenings mostly, might be flexible depending on day.
Preferred Teaching Place
Zoom. At your home studio in Vancouver. At the library. Usually students would best learn their own software on their own systems.

Brendan is a wonderful instructor and is willing to go the extra mile to help you reach your goals. I went in knowing nothing about synthesizers, and Brendan researched my particular instruments to help me get the most out of them. He possesses a breadth of knowledge that I feel I only skimmed the surface of. I definitely recommend him as an instructor and look forward to continuing lessons with him in the future.

Brenden is an excellent teacher in the area of Audio & Visual production, and has a vast knowledge of most digital recording systems, as well is patient and detailed in his explanations of exactly how these systems work. I would highly recommend Brenden as a coach, mentor and teacher. I am a professional musician as well and have logged many hours in the recording studio as a producer, so I have worked with some very good engineers over the years. Brenden had a vast array of knowledge in the digital audio visual recording realm and I would highly recommend him to assist you with learning how to record with DAW, Audio Engineer and/or assist with producing your music and/or music video. Check me out on Sax in the George Michael Video - Kissing a Fool https://youtu.be/hhmj6Gm-6Do I have played Sax in Bands with Keith Scott Guitarist with Bryan Adams, toured across Canada opening for Mr. Mr. with the Jim Foster Band.
