Sean Cahalin

Sean CahalinSean started as an intern at Q in 2009 and is now a staff engineer. He’s most concerned with facilitating the band’s realization of their art, and accentuating the “vibe” of the piece. He wants to find the punk rock in everything, from jazz to hip hop to punk rock and metal; a reflection of our existence and the necessity of expressing ourselves musically.

He also plays drums in I Was Awake, Autumn Above, Froggy & The Friendship, and Mother Ton, and once in a while gets to play bass.

A few weeks ago we took delivery of Mitch Easter’s Chamberlin M1. With analog tapes that are a time capsule from a forgotten era, this magical machine has the sounds of vibes, female voices, male voices, cello, harpsichord, violins, flutes, and french horns... 
We have a bit of an embarrassment of riches of analog tape samplers at Q, but as you might know or can guess, these beasts are incredibly temperamental and not always on their best behavior, but when they're working well there's nothing quite like these incredible machines.
