Pachyderm's Legendary Engineers Brent Sigmeth Zach Hollander
Over the course of 15 years, Brent Sigmeth has turned the knobs of Pachyderm Studio, working with a variety of successful artists. He has delivered sandwiches and chewing tobacco for Nirvana, repaired the starter in a car belonging to a member of Live, and upheld the responsibility of delivering recordings to mastering studios for artists such as Son Volt, Milk, The Great Depression, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, White Light Riot, Soul Asylum, They Might Be Giants, The Bad Plus, Mudvayne, Doyle Bramhall, Indigenous, Luna, Grant Hart, Andrew Bird, Kelley Deal, Martin Zellar, and many more. None have left unhappy, many have left with full, rich-sounding works of art. In his off-time, Brent enjoys writing a column for the local paper, denying Myspace friend requests, finishing the New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle by Tuesday night, and emailing his wife from across the dining room table.
