Jason Steidman

I'm a recording engineer/producer based out of Toronto, Canada. I have had the pleasure of working with great artists such as Sarah Slean, The Canadian Brass, David Braid, Matt Brubeck, Tanya Kalmanovitch, and many more . For several years, I was the head engineer of a great (but now sadly defunct) tracking room called Lydian Sound, and I am now working out of several Toronto facilities on a freelance basis. For more info on that side of things, please visit my website - it's quite lo-fi, but it does the trick... You are also welcome to check out my 'online reel'
The purpose of this page is to post some tracks of my own that I've been working on between projects for several years (more to come soon), and some newer pieces that I've been experimenting with live, in collaboration with 'live projections' (check out the vlog excerpts below). I guess you could say that my musical background is primarily rooted in jazz because of the teachers I have always sought out, and because that is how I 'process' any music I'm working with... On the other hand, though...I've really only played in (or 'tracked with') rock bands... Over the last seven years, my knowledge of North Indian classical music has grown, and since I first began studying this music via the harmonium with Ustad Sohail Rana, I am looking at things very differently....
