Isa Khan
Recording Engineer
Hello, here's a little bit
ABOUT ME
I specialise in classical music recording, editing & post-production, from traditional stereo through to modern techniques for Dolby Atmos. My work includes digital concert recordings with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & London Chamber Orchestra; orchestral and choral concert recordings at the Barbican, Cadogan Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall & Fairfeld Hall; chamber music recordings at the Royal Festival Hall, Wigmore Hall & Milton Court as well as award-winning studio albums. Additionally, I teach Music Technology at Dulwich College, where a growing number of students are heading on to the Tonmeister degree.
Prior to working in the recording industry, I studied composition under scholarships at the Purcell School and Royal College of Music. Whilst still a student, I received commissions from the likes of the London Philharmonic Orchestra & London Sinfonietta and on graduation, I was awarded the Elgar Memorial Prize in Composition for outstanding achievement. I went on to train with renowned classical engineer Tony Faulkner, with whom I worked for many years. Faulkner’s techniques remain ubiquitous in my approach to recording.
