aka Benjamin Tierney
BIO: JA MIN
Album Mixing / Livestream / Live Audio / Post Audio / Event Production / Sound Design / Studio Management
Born in Minnesota, Benjamin's obsession with sound began at the source: listening to records, building speakers, and hand-crafting custom listening environments. This early fascination with the physical nature of audio sparked a lifelong curiosity for what it takes to build a truly immersive sonic experience.
After formalizing his craft at the Institute of Production and Recording in Minneapolis, Benjamin moved to Los Angeles, where he spent six years running Bombshelter Studios—the world-class facility owned by Eric Kretz (Stone Temple Pilots). There, he cut his teeth alongside legendary, engineers and producers like Eddie Kramer (Jimi Hendrix), Nigel Godrich (Radiohead), George Augsburger (studio designer), Chris Shaw (Weezer) and Spike Stent (Bjork), developing a meticulous technical foundation and a deep respect for the recording process.
Currently, Benjamin operates as an independent mix and recording engineer known for his ability to bridge the gap between studio precision and live energy. His portfolio spans the avant-garde and the iconic, from recording and mixing live shows for Thundercat, Flying Lotus, and Mulatu Astatke, to mixing and mastering studio albums for Kamasi Washington, Shabaka Hutchings, and Allysha Joy. Whether capturing a broadcast for Billie Eilish and Bon Iver or polishing an intimate studio record, Benjamin remains driven by that same childhood curiosity: the pursuit of a perfect, intentional sonic experience.

ALBUM: "Of The Earth" March 6th 2026
Artist: Shabaka Hutchings
Role: Creative Mastering Engineer
"Over the past decade, Shabaka has been widely recognised for his role in reshaping perceptions of British jazz and experimental music, both in the UK and internationally. His work has consistently moved between jazz, electronic, spiritual and diasporic traditions, positioning him as a defining figure within contemporary British culture.
Written, performed, produced and mixed entirely by Shabaka, Of The Earth centres primarily on the alto flute, while also marking a return to the saxophone. The album also features his first recorded use of rapping, adding a further layer to a sound that connects the rhythmic drive of Sons of Kemet and The Comet Is Coming with the more meditative textures of his recent solo material."

Artist: Dan Greer
Role: Mixing Engineer, Co Producer
We grew up together in Minnesota. When Dan said he wanted to make records I was thrilled to help. I started hearing his music when he moved to Southern California not far from my Venice Beach studio. We began diving into his music and recording ideas in the following years. Dan continued to work on his craft and after we did two records together he decided to try one on his own. The fourth record we recorded at Shangri La Studios in Malibu and we captured the vibe of a live band and worked with producer / drummer Anthony LoGerfo. We spent 14 days doing pre production, recording and mixing. A song from the first record we did together was used in the surf film "The Color of Winter" A film by Rob Machado and Pat Stacy. The sounds have been evolving and definitely an artist to keep an ear out for.
"When the Wind She Cries / Step Into Innocence"
Role: Mixing Engineer, Co-Producer
Albums: Sun Gong / Bring on The Sun
Artist: Laraaji
Role: Mixing Engineer
A collection of brand new studio recordings, recorded by Davey Jewell (Peaking Lights/Flaming Lips). A magical mixtape of tracks that run the full gamut of ‘Laraaji music’, from blissed-out percussive jams to reflective vocal hymnals to trance-inducing drones. A perfect Laraaji entry-point on his never-ending creative journey through inner light.

Over 15 years working with
Artist: Carlos Niño
Role: Recording, Mixing, Mastering Engineer
I first met Carlos at a show he put together for an Alice Coltrane tribute around 2008. I invited him to the studio and immediately we started working together on projects he had lined up. The first was Suite For Ma Dukes. It was the beginning of a long lasting friendship and collaboration between Carlos and I. Over the past 15 years we have worked on a lot of projects together. Our work consists of a collection of albums, live performances and other various artists he was producing. Our most recent encounter together was at Sonic Boom in Toronto for a live improvised performance with my family and new friends.

Album: "the making of silk"
Artist: Allysha Joy
Role: Mixing Engineer
"Raise Up"
Role: Mixing Engineer
"Raise Up" taken from Allysha's upcoming album The Making of Silk scheduled for release via our friends at First Word Records later this year. The track kicks off with a simple, but very effective tight drum pattern before her husky vocal emerges with a powerful message.
There's a lot to unpack when it comes to "Raise Up" and I loved Allysha's staking a stance on an important issue in Australia. She elaborates, "This music was written and recorded on stolen land, rightfully owned by the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and to all First Nations People in the ongoing battle for sovereignty."

‘David’ carries emotional depth and sonic craftsmanship as Allysha Joy’s husky, soulful voice strengthens the weight of the song’s themes, delivering each line with a poignant blend of vulnerability and strength. The prowess on the instrumentation adds rich, warm textures, creating an intimate atmosphere that envelops the listener. Captured live in the studio, the raw energy and spontaneous interaction between the musicians is both minimalistic and powerful, allowing each element to shine while contributing to the overall emotional impact...

"When Love" // "Sweet Starry Night" // "Spirit Refelction" // "Open Up"
Role: Mixing Engineer
She’s a Chilean-American from Los Angeles who sings in English and Spanish, but Gaby Hernandez’s electro-acoustic creations are heavily informed by the weirdest and most wonderful areas of Brazilian music, from bossa nova to funk carioca. Lo Mas Dulce is a futuristic update of Tropicália, where a clattering berimbau groove is overlaid with space-age synths. Entranced is a galloping bossa waltz where the entire song is sung on a single note, like Jobim’s One Note Samba, while My Baobab Tree is a gorgeous choro ballad sweetened with woozy guitars. Fellow Angeleno Kamasi Washington provides tightly harmonised saxophone arrangements on three tracks but, throughout, the emphasis is on strong, bel canto vocal melodies, dreamy chord changes and seductive rhythms.

Album:"The Leaves Fall"
Artist: Justin Carter
Role: Drum Programming, Co-Producer, Mixing Engineer
"With The Old Breed"
Role: Mixing Engineer, Co-Producer
Role: Mixing Engineer, Co-Producer
In the tradition of great singer-songwriters, Justin Carter seems to stick out like a sore thumb. Not because he’s better than the ones who have come before him, but it’s because although he’s traversed ground that’s been treaded previously, with his new album The Leaves Fall (Mister Saturday Night Records) I’m hard pressed to squeeze him into just any old sub-genre. No, some know Carter by his collaborative efforts with Eamon Harkin, as half of popular New York party and record label Mister Saturday Night but this release here, really isn’t much of a part of it. While it may be released on the label, The Leaves Fall is occasionally a haunting affair, with Justin’s sweet voice throughout it...
The opus, “The Great Destroyer” opens the album with a simple and catch finger-picked guitar line with a cello suddenly entering as Justin’s delicate vocals sound like they would break apart at just about any moment. I can’t get enough of this song. Now while you may believe there’s more of the same to follow, that’s not what happens. The beat drives a number of these songs but fortunately it’s Justin Carter’s voice that reels everything in to streamline The Leaves Fall into a cohesive album. “Infinite Pieces” drown out the world with its syncopated rhythm over the rest of the music. Carter begins showing his easy flowed range here, and it doesn’t even sound like he’s trying too hard. It works though. And then it dips into “Know It All” where it goes back to the basics again with one instrument under his vocals. THIS is how we know there will be a reckoning with Justin Carter

Album: Laroyê
Artist: Àbáse
Role: Mixing Engineer
Recorded in Rio de Janeiro and Salvador with a Zoom recorder, Àbáse worked with diverse artists from the Brazilian scene, including Letieres Leite, Luciane Dom, Dofono d'Omulo, Afrojazz and more, as "Laroyê", his first solo project, began to take shape, an intricate audio diary of his travels. "Exploring the rich heritage of afro-brazilian culture through samba, MPB and Candomblé," and "[blending] these with [...] broken beat, hip hop and afrobeat, the album is a contemporary homage to the classic Brazilian sound." Indeed, "Laroyê" makes for tight listen, sonically dense and multifarious, with manifold musical treats and delicacies along the way, inviting listeners to a lush 55 minutes of 'headnoddery' and incredulous listening amidst"[an organically diverse] artistic dialogue of seemingly distant cultures" united in groove.

Album: "gut busters"
Artist: Yosa Peit
Role: Mixing Engineer
Even in the face of planetary doom and personal obstacles, Yosa evokes our propensity for mischief, humor and pleasure. “bb moon” processes sound solely from her bass into wicked oblivion. “CALL ME,” a song about friendship, chews up it’s anthemic melody into a gnarled strut worthy of an A$AP Rocky production, while “HAD3S” urges us to find balance, nodding to the mystical fuzz of Prince. Yosa’s work has been called “personal, punk, poignant, deep” yet her genre-defying production, as textured as it is catchy, escapes definition.
Gut Buster takes that collective playground for creation to planetary reaches, congregating friends from Berlin, Cologne, and New York’s fuzzy musical underbelly: Employee, Funkycan, Gerry Franke, Glenn Astro, Nauker, Paingel, Tbz, and UCC Harlo. The record was mixed by Brainfeeder affiliate Benjamin Vukelic in Portland and Jan Brauer in Berlin.

Before Gut Busters, there was Phyton, a brilliant offering by the multi-talented producer, vocalist, and Error Music founder from Berlin. Sound synthesis added an extra dimension to tracks like "Serious People Chuckle", adding some sounds in the mixing process and infusing the music with personalized unique sonic textures.
Album: "Domino"
Artist: Dukes of Chutney
Role: Dub FX, Mixing Engineer
I was once a Duke (of Chutney), we laced in some final fx and sonic story telling while we mixed for this album together with Dustin at my studio in Venice Beach, CA. I had the freedom to work with some sound design on the vocal arrangements and bring in the dub fx for this record released on Beats in Space, a label run by Tim Sweeney out of NYC in 2013.

Album: "les jardins mystiques vol. 1"
Artist: Miguel Atwood-Ferguson
Role: Synth Programmer, Mixing Engineer
The word ‘epic’ doesn’t even touch the sides as far as this incredible release from Miguel Atwood-Ferguson goes. But then rarely has a small word summed up a large body of artistic work so succinctly. Over 12 years in the making, comprising 52 tracks with over 3.5 hours of music, this 4 LP set is nothing short of astonishing. Composed, arranged and produced by LA-based multi-instrumentalist Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, with contributions from over 50 musicians/friends including Kamasi Washington, Thundercat, DOMi & JD Beck, Jeff Parker, Carlos Niño, Austin Peralta, Bennie Maupin, Lara Somogyi, Jamael Dean, Jamire Williams, Burniss Travis II, Deantoni Parks, Brandon Coleman and Marcus Gilmore, to name just a few, its scope and essence is heroically vast. “Les Jardins Mystiques Vol.1” is a phenomenal achievement.

Synth programming for 21 tracks on Miguel Atwood-Ferguson's Les Jardins Mystiques Volume 1 involved a unique blend of digital and analog synthesizers, creating a rich sonic palette. Textural contributions range from sweeping orchestral arrangements to experimental soundscapes, adding depth and dimension to this diverse and expansive project.
Suite for Ma Dukes, an orchestral tribute to James Yancey (J Dilla)
It was 2008 when we first worked together on his Suite for Ma Dukes, an orchestral tribute to James Yancey (J Dilla) The first song was recorded by Carlos Niño in his living room and the other songs were recorded at Bombshelter Studios in Downtown Los Angeles. This studio project grew into a live concert with support from many of J Dilla's friends, family and collaborators including his mother Ma Dukes.

Shortly after that we began working together to record Miguel's string arrangements for various artists. Sometimes in my studio and other times it was at Miguel's home.

The multi-instrumentalist/composer Miguel Atwood-Ferguson lends his one-man orchestra to the expansive interlude The Lung. Molasses is musical treacle. Shaolin Monk Motherfunk is some weird-shit boogie. Only Time All the Time: Making Friends With Studio Owl is self-explanatory.

"The Lung"
Role: Recording Engineer (String Ensemble)
Album: "the epic"
Artist: Kamasi Washington
Role: Mixing Engineer
"Claire De Lune"
Role: Mixing Engineer
What The Epic does come to sound like, over the course of its significant running time, is a generational intervention—an educational tool that widens the definition of styles that fall under "jazz classicism." With his writing for string sections and chorus, Washington even flirts with that most dreaded of appellations: smooth. But these specific choices also wind up paying dividends: The calmly spiritual voices and Washington's wailing playing during the back half of "Askim" feels novel.

Kamasi Washington's "The Epic" (2015) is a sprawling, 172-minute triple album that revitalized spiritual jazz for a new generation. Fusing jazz with hip-hop, soul, and funk—influenced by his work on Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly—the record features a full choir and orchestra. It was widely acclaimed for its ambitious scope and accessibility.
Running just short of three hours in length, this new Kamasi Washington album lives up to its name.

Laraaji - "Sun Gong" (Gong Sun Edit)
"Together with Carlos Niño he worked on mixing and editing Laraaji's extensive summer 2016 NYC jams recorded with Davey Jewell into the tracks that appear on Sun Gong and Bring On The Sun.
Sun Gong is a major new self-contained work by the celestial music practitioner. An experiment with gong microtonalties processed through various electronic effects. The results are unlike any music he has made before - two side-long long-form pieces that evoke the sound of a shimmering metallic eternal wave."

LIVE
With over a decade of experience mixing and documenting high-stakes live performances, I specialize in turning ephemeral moments into timeless digital archives. My portfolio spans from the cutting edge to the legendary, including audio engineering for David Lynch’s Festival of Disruption (featuring Bon Iver and Laura Marling) and the historic Renegades of Rhythm tour with DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist at the Fox Theater.
I have also served as a long-term partner for ArtDontSleep, engineering the seminal Timeless series which featured icons like Mulatu Astatke, Arthur Verocai, and the Suite for Ma Dukes orchestra. As technology evolves, the barrier to high-fidelity documentation lowers, but the need for an expert ear remains. I provide professional live mixing and A/V coordination to ensure your event is captured with the depth and clarity it deserves
