Brian also enjoys capturing, producing, and mixing music and has served as a recording engineer for CBC radio. His production experience ranges from classical and contemporary records to pop and jazz concerts. Past projects include recordings with the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra, Vancouver Symphony orchestra, Jan Lisiecki, Nicole Lizée, and broadcasts for The New Pornographers and Mother Mother. In 2020, his recording of the Chor Leoni Men’s Choir was nominated for a Juno Award for Classical Album of the Year. As an arranger and session cellist, Brian has collaborated with a number of artists including Jordan Klassen, IAMTHELIVING, Dear Rouge and Holy Hum. He also releases music with his brother under Heis. Their latest album, Good Weather, is a collection of slow-moving and invitational gestures for an isolating time.
Chan holds a Masters in sound recording from the Schulich School of Music of McGill University, but what he has truly mastered is how to nap at any time of the day. |
