Joe Tooley began working tirelessly at Q Division as an intern in 2006. A graduate of AI New England, JT has been recording and producing immaculate recordings in a variety of genres – from complex prog-metal, to power pop, to chamber folk. You can also find Joe mixing live shows at Blue Ocean Music Hall, and all sorts of events at MIT. Occasionally you can talk Joe into taking his detail oriented self on the road with you to mix Front of House and tour manage. Joe Tooley is one of Q Division’s senior engineers.
“As an audio engineer I love almost every aspect of sound and sound manipulation. When it comes to the ‘sound’ of music, there is still so much unexplored territory as to how we can capture or simply amplify musicians. Discovering specific eccentricities of a band or an artist and bringing them out, whether in the studio or on stage, has always been the most alluring part of being an audio engineer.”
