Matt Poirier

Grammy Award-Winning Engineer, Mixer, Producer & Mastering Engineer

I'm a Grammy Award-winning recording engineer, mixer, producer, and mastering engineer based in Philadelphia, PA. Over the past decade-plus I've been lucky enough to work with some incredible artists like The National, Caroline Shaw, Sō Percussion, Vijay Iyer, The War on Drugs, Big Thief, Waxahatchee, and Restorations, among a whole bunch of others.

I love every part of the record-making process from the planning through the mastering, and I'm always excited about novel ways to approach it (especially seeing how many bonkers effects we can get away with). I'm infamously a reader of manuals, never short on ideas, and just as comfortable working to tape as I am with a purely digital process.

When I'm not in the studio, I'm likely to be found hanging out with my cat Orzo, watching F1, with a hundred tabs open about whatever new rabbit hole has grabbed me. All fueled by a (typically) 1:16.67 ratio morning pour-over.

Always happy to talk, even if it's just an idea.
