About
Aidan is a professional audio engineer and live sound technician in the Seattle area. Aidan has been working in audio since 2019 after an internship at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley afforded the opportunity to work with incredible acts such as Pat Metheny, Chris Botti, and Tower of Power.
Later, Aidan began a stint designing, marketing, and launching his own line of high-end studio PCs eventually selling to clients including hollywood composers and entertainment giant Electronic Arts. He then decided to return to audio education to further hone his studio skills while also beginning at Carlson Audio Systems, where he has built and configured equipment for top-line acts ranging from Chappell Roan, to Ludacris, Peter Hook (New Order), Seattle Symphony and others.
Some of Aidan's recent work involves recording at London Bridge Studios, live mixing at the 2024 NAMM Show, live concert recording and mixdown of the Dialekt String Quartet for Seattle Composers Alliance, and live mixing at Seattle venues Central Saloon and Aurora Borealis.
Aidan currently holds positions as a board member and live sessions audio lead for Seattle Composers Alliance as well as the GrammyU Ambassador for Shoreline Community College. Aidan is the owner / operator of Artful Enterprises and band engineer for Seattle group Standish & Co.
