Artun has experimented a lot on his own with recording his Steinway and knows exactly the sound he’s going for. I relished the opportunity to experiment with some techniques … Read the rest “Dialogue by Artun Miskciyan”

Release day is here so I can announce my involvement in this major overhaul of the highly successful Warframe game world by Canadian game studio Digital Extremes. Working with the fine folks at Syndicate Creative, I’ve been editing voice assets for the better part of a year. Performers, directors, writers and producers joined us in studio and patched in from across Europe and North America. We became a central hub, virtually and IRL… Read the rest “New Release: Warframe: The Duviri Paradox”
The Christie Pits Riot is a combined audio drama and historical walking tour set in 1930s Toronto, exploring an infamous race riot and the mark it left on the city’s Jewish families. It was written and created by Sam Rosenthal and Drew Carnwath, inspired by Sam’s own family’s history in Toronto. I recorded all of the voice performances, did the dialog/voice edit and passed it along to John Ebata in Halifax who added music and … Read the rest “The Christie Pits Riot – The Hogtown Experience”
Today I had the pleasure of recording Jagmeet Singh, leader of the federal NDP, in the run up to the Fall election. I captured and mixed 2 radio spots and three 30sec ads meant for podcasts. This was for db Audio in downtown Toronto where owner Dave Boire often brings me in to cover him for recording dates or to help with VO edits in English and French.
Jagmeet recorded in three languages: English, French … Read the rest “Jagmeet & Greet”

He was exacting in his direction but enthusiastic about the process and … Read the rest “Chopin Mazurka in C-Sharp Minor Op. 63 No. 3 | Artun Miskciyan, piano”
I’m so glad to see this album released. Dan Kelsey (Hush About the City) wrote and home-recorded nearly everything from his place in Winnipeg and sent me the tunes to mix late last summer. I helped him realize his vision by reworking some drum and synth sounds, recording a few new instrument parts here and there, editing the many layered vocals and finally mixing and mastering the record for digital release. The only song I … Read the rest “New Album Release: Hush About the City – ‘On Making Friends’”
I mixed this sweet li’l ditty by my friend Dad (Mike Bilenki). Dad’s lawn is trimmed and his pop songwriting is on point.
I mixed this song a few months back with local electronic producer MKSTN. Just released on Majestic Casual Records. Perfect spring vibes.
Available on iTunes, Spotify, and Soundcloud.
I helped with the mix on this 12" techno release for Kikamora. Check it out.

Some time last year I was speaking to the father of one of my best friends, who recently retired from a long career as a sound and stage engineering (Four Seasons Centre, Princess of Wales Theatre, etc.). I was looking for advice on getting my career rolling. Unknown to me, in the early 70s he and a few friends partnered up to open a studio in Kensington Market. While this acquaintance no longer has any … Read the rest “Kensington Sound”
