Meet Josh!
I’ve been lucky this summer to have Josh Sauvageau as an intern. He’s been a great help with everything from cleaning up dialog audio to researching the latest/greatest virtual instruments & recording gear to sound design.
A recent grad from Columbia College Chicago (BA in Audio Arts & Acoustics), he studied recording under & worked alongside R&B producer Ron Gresham, Chicago Sessions (jazz label) owner/engineer/producer Nick Eipers, as well as WFMT Classical Engineers Mary Mazurek and Jesse McQuarters
In addition to being one of nicest people I know, he’s quite the interesting guy (for starters, he travelled the world as a nuclear reactor operator in the Navy!) A few current projects:
- Production/audio editing and general research intern for 98.7 fm WFMT’s Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin, a nationally syndicated, nightly radio program
- Live sound tech doing everything from hip-hop battles to church services and wedding receptions
- Bassist/background singer for two bands that have CDs due out in about a month: Stealth Like a Canoe and As 40 Sleeps
I can’t thank him enough for all the hard work over the past few months. Hire this man!

Thank you for posting this beautiful blog!

Josh Sauvageau is a sonic genius. He’s worked on music projects with me for about eight years, and I couldn’t imagine working with a better sound engineer. He has the rare ability to take any project and give it the same level of care and attention he’d give to his own projects. Great to see his accomplishments recognized in this blog!
