Andrew Bohman Recording, LLC

Classically trained.

Forwardly focused.

Whether you’re playing old music in a fresh way, or sharing something new with the world, I make musicians sound and look good in recordings.

As a musician first, I make sure your best performances are preserved intentionally and creatively, whether it’s for a track on your album or a video of your concert.


With a Master’s degree in Audio Sciences from the Peabody Conservatory of Music, five summers working audio at the Tanglewood Music Festival, and 8+ years of experience with numerous clients in the Baltimore/DC area, I know how to record classical and jazz music well.

As a composer originally, I especially care about making new music happenโ€”and new music can mean contemporary compositions, rediscovered works that were left behind for no good reason, and the tried-and-true classics imbued with new life by skilled, thoughtful performers.

And, I’m practical. Sometimes a concert needs amplification and monitors to deliver the best experience to the live audience and band. As an experienced audio engineer, I am able to provide quality live sound reinforcement with a musician’s touch.

Values

Professionalism

Before I press record, I value your trust and comfort. Communication, punctuality, flexibility, and expediency are my business priorities. As the performer, you shouldn’t have to focus on anything but creating your music.

Quality

To me, a great recording should not just be an accurate capture of an eventโ€” it should be a larger-than-life sonic experience. I strive to produce clear recordings that draw listeners into your musical space.

Musicality

As a composer myself, I understand that the music always comes first. I care just as much about fulfilling your artistic vision as you do, and I will do whatever is possible to achieve that goal with you.

Connections

  • As a location recording engineer, I don’t have a fixed, brick-and-mortar studio for recording, but I can connect you with venues! I can turn any space into a recording studio, or operate from existing recording studios like Heartwood Sound Studio. Often, I record in churches, concert halls, and large rooms with spacious acoustics that are friendly to classical recordings, but I’m just as comfortable recording bands in traditional studio locations.
  • Some productions require a full team! I can help connect you with, or even offer sub-contracted quotes from, trusted partner services that provide services I don’t personally offer, such as photography, backline, staging, etc.
