S01:E16 Jess Fenton: Sound Engineer and Mixing Engineer for the 'Typuhthâng' album

In this episode: Listen to a conversation between your host Vivienne Aerts and Sound Engineer Jess Fenton as they analyze their work together on creating the album 'Typuhthâng' About Jess Fenton Jess' longest running passion is music production. As an awkward teen multi-instrumentalist, she spent many evenings and weekends in her parents' basement recording songs on cassette with her Fostex 4-track. She has since caught up with technology and prefers her Mac & Pro Tools combo. She records in her humble yet highly efficient home studio in Brooklyn, NY with many analog signal chains to choose from in addition to a large variety of virtual and real instruments. After constantly hearing that "women don't do music production" and "women aren't interested in studio work" and "I'd hire a women but can't find any," Jess snapped one day and decided to prove those statements to be entirely false. She bought some basic video gear, taught herself how to use Adobe Premiere, and booked flights all over the country to interview some of the most talented women in music production. And with that, the Proof In Music series was born. ⁠Instagram⁠ / ⁠YouTube⁠ About ViviTalks - Interviews with the Women Behind Typuhthâng.
