Daniel Deboy
Audio Engineer, Researcher, Instructor, Consultant, Music Producer
Dan graduated in Audio Engineering at the University of Music and the University of Technology in Graz (Austria) in 2010. He gained several AES student awards for his recordings judged by well known soundengineers such as Ronald Prent, Dietz Tinhof, Darcy Proper. Dan also chaired the student chapter of the AES for European & International regions for one period. Currently, he is doing research in acoustics at CERN and teaches Audio Production courses at Webster University in Geneva. Dan received the “DEGA Studienpreis 2011″ for his diploma thesis on signal processing of spherical microphone array recordings.
“I listen to all kinds of music as long as I can feel that it was done by passionate artists and not by the marketing department of a record company. In my spare time, I hate television, love to be out in nature, travel a lot, care for my two rabbits and fulfill the stereotype of a DIY engineer.”
