Emmy Award winning producer-engineer and Aston 33 member Damien Quintard started out working in a French studio, recording classical artists for clients including Sony Music, and soon found himself mixing with, and for, some of the world’s leading artists.
His credits include projects with classical and operatic royalty including Teodor Currentzis, MusicAeterna, Olivier Baumont and Julien Chauvin. He has also managed studios, produced major events and participated in broadcasting huge festivals. His new venture, the Mono Company, now provides all these services to the great and good of the music industry.
Damien’s varied career has also seen him working with mainstream artists like Lady Gaga, who he worked with for the opening of the European Olympic Games in Azerbaijan - fitting for a multi-talented sound-smith who says he has a ‘rock and roll approach to sound’. Damien also finds time for his own band, Dot Legacy, who are signed to a major label in Brazil.
“Basically I use Aston gear for everything. I have the Spirit and the Origin, like ten of each.” He told us.
Damien recently used no fewer than twelve Aston mics in one session when recording with conductor Tendor Currentzis at Vienna’s Wiener Konzerthaus for Sony Classical.
Thanks for your support, help and expertise Damien – a true member of the Aston family!
