- Jett Galindo, Sound Engineer
Jett is a
Boston-based audio engineer who has recently graduated from Berklee College of Music with a degree in Music Production & Engineering studies and a minor in Acoustics & Electronics.Recipient of the 2012 Robin Coxe-Yeldham Audio Scholar Award, Jett's experience in audio engineering dates back to 2005 when she merged her 2 passions--music & technology--by becoming a full-fledged sound engineer. Jett was taken under the wing of multi-awarded sound engineer, Robbie Grande, as an apprentice in the SFX Digital Sound Studios (Quezon CIty, Philippines) where she spent more than 4 years training & working full-time in the recording studios before attending Berklee to pursue formal sound engineering studies.
Since then, she has had the opportunity to work for various artists spanning across different genres (David Liebman, Tia Fuller, Seth Macfarlane, Javier Limon, Livingston Taylor, Philippine Madrigal Singers, Noel Cabangon, Bukas Palad, & the Aegis Band, among others)
Besides audio engineering, Jett is also an accomplished soprano who, as a member of the Ateneo Chamber Singers & Ateneo College Glee Club, has toured & performed in various countries spanning across Europe (Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Italy, & Netherlands), Asia ( (Japan, & Singapore) and the Americas. She has also sung & engineered for various Philippine film scores and TV specials such as Mulawin: The Movie, Batanes, and Maging Akin Muli, among others.
Aside from her sound engineering studies in Berklee College of Music, Jett is currently busy with her duties as the choir director for the bi-weekly Boston Filipino masses held in Boston College / MIT. She also works part-time as a web & graphics designer for Berklee's Stan Getz Media Center & Library.
Jett looks forward to growing more as musician and audio engineer as she continues her studies in the Berklee College of Music. She continues to be grateful each day for this opportunity to grow, learn from and be inspired by Berklee’s distinguished professors, and fellow musicians in campus.

Distinctly remembered hearing the album for the first time, thanks to Chris Ong. I knew from then on that I wanted to record choral music that would be comparable to Eadon's standards. Still not there yet (first, I need to buy better low-noise preamps), but grateful for +Saunder Choi for reminding me about my love for choral music tonight. egad, how amazing is that album.

If Leonardo Da Vinci had not been accepted in this job, his painting "The Last Supper" wouldn't have been created.You da man, sir Da Vinci. I excuse your use of hyperbole, because in your case, nothing's an exaggeration.

And more amazing when the arranger is one of the vocalists too :)

Albums
- 3 tracks (00:00)This is my final production project for Berklee College of Music's Music Production & Engineering program. The album, entitled "Roots: an ode to origins" is a brief tribute to the diverse backgrounds of musicians that study in Berklee. Berklee, being a school known for its diverse musical stylings, has allowed me to explore various genres of music. Now that I am in my final semester of studies, I have decided to use this final project as a means to celebrate our musical origins. The first song is titled "Life Has a Cycle". It features Karien de Waal, a composer who hails from Johannesburg, South Africa. The song features the Zulu dialect and is sung by an all-female choral ensemble. The second song, "Appa Nga Palavvun" (4 Riddles) is a Filipino choral composition/song cycle written by Saunder Choi which features literature from the northern Ibanag regions of the Philippines. It is a play on 4 well-known riddles about a water well, a pig, candle and an egg. The third song, "Liter of Light", does not originate from any specific country. It is an actual song that was produced for the Harvard-based non-profit foundation "Liter of Light" which uses sustainable means to provide light to homes in poverty-stricken countries. This song serves as a reminder that at the end of the day, despite our many differences and unique backgrounds, we all belong to one global community.
