Producers / Engineers

Finn Keane

Since beginning work as a sound engineer in 1996, Finn has built a career in recording, mixing, and from 2009, also mastering. Following eleven years as a freelance recording engineer, Finn spent two and a half years as a technician at Melbourne Recital Centre, working with a diverse range of sounds before finding a new home at Head Gap in 2015.

Finn enjoys working either as producer, where he sees his role as a collaborator, working with an artist to find a unique sound that fits the song or album, or as an engineer, focusing on the sonic or technical aspects of the recording while artists take complete control of the arrangements and performance. Often, it is somewhere in between those two roles.

In his extensive career as an producer/engineer, Finn has been honoured to work with an amazing list of Australian and international artists such as Augie March, Loose Tooth, Courtney Barnett, Wilco, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Franz Ferdinand, Oasis, Even, The Scientists, Jet and many more. Drawing on his experience as a guitarist in various bands and touring as a live sound engineer, Finn has a great understanding and insight into recording music and communicating in the studio to help realise each artists recording.

Finn's passion for music and recording is obvious in the attention, energy and dedication he brings to each session. "I love the diversity and new challenges of working with a range of musicians that continually inspire me to find new approaches to creating sounds".
