Alexander Wright Mastering

About

I am a musician and mastering engineer from Melbourne, Australia. I now live in the United States where I work as an independent audio professional.

About Me

I am an Australian mastering engineer based in Seattle. A graduate of the prestigious Music Production and Engineering program at Berklee College of Music, I have worked in some of the finest studios in the world and had the opportunity to learn my craft from some of the most accomplished audio engineers alive including Jonathan Wyner (Pink Floyd, David Bowie) and Sean Slade (Radiohead, Pixies), as well as noted acoustician John Storyk (Electric Lady Studios, Jungle City Studios). My passion for both the artistic and technical aspects of mastering ensures that the music coming out of my studio not only sounds incredible but also resonates deeply with its intended audience, transcending the boundaries of a simple audio file.

Working directly with you, the artist, is at the heart of my approach. I understand that your music is a deeply personal expression of your artistry. When you choose to collaborate with me, you're not just getting a mastering engineer; you're getting a dedicated partner who's as invested in your music as you are. I don't rely on intermediaries or assistants; it's your music and my ears, ensuring that every aspect of your project receives 100% of my focused attention. This direct collaboration allows us to have open, honest communication that keeps your artistic vision at the forefront throughout the mastering process. It's this personal touch that sets my service apart and brings your music to life in the most authentic way.

During the course of my career I have mastered everything from DIY independent rock to major label pop. My credits include RIAA Platinum and Gold certifications and songs which have hit #1 on several iTunes charts, charted on Billboard and the UK Top 40, and received radio play on Hot97 and BBC Radio 1, reaching hundreds of millions of listeners along the way. I am a voting member of the Audio Engineering Society and I am among the select number of engineers authorized by Apple to offer Apple Digital Masters for their clients.

Whenever I have downtime between mastering projects I enjoy spending time with my wife Maya and our dog Ozzy, producing my own records, writing poetry, and reading. I am an avid traveler, having lived in 5 countries and visited over 50. Throughout my life literature, cinema, and music have been continual sources of guidance and support. A few of my favorite books are Don Quixote, On the Road, and Crime and Punishment; some favorite films are 2001: A Space Odyssey, Chinatown, and Withnail and I; and my favorite album is Pet Sounds followed by both volumes of Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works, and Burial’s Untrue. In 2019 I released my first book of poems called Opening and my debut solo album The Blue Shore of Silence. My most recent solo release is a single called Home.
