"Give me
great mics - new or old - audio workstations, great acoustics but,
most of all, real, live musicians and I'll make great
recordings" says Joseph Magee.
Joseph Magee has
numerous credits with a very wide range of musical styles; jazz,
classical, rock, pop, latin and world music in addition to numerous
recording, mixing and production credits for feature films - not
forgetting his other work as a consultant for design projects for
Disney Concert Hall and The Colburn School of Performing Arts.
You may also have seen Joseph at the Hollywood Bowl where he mixes
about 90% of all live shows!
 Past credits include
The Boston Pops, Ray Brown, Whitney Huston, Tina Turner, Joe
Williams, Stewart Copeland and a vast array of classical ensembles
such as Chicago Symphony Orchestra, The L.A. Philharmonic and The
Naples Philharmonic. Joseph's film score/soundtrack work
includes 'Sister Act 2', 'Twister', 'Money Train' and Tina Turner's
story 'What's love got to do with it' (see our related Graham
Lyle feature). More recently Joseph has been involved with
several Disney Films including 'Fantasia 2000' with James Levine
(Chicago Symphony Orchestra), 'Coyote Ugly' and 'High Fidelity' with
John Cussack. He worked with Trevor Horn (see our related Trevor
