Marc Montanchez, CKUT
Marc Montanchez is CKUT's Technical and Production coordinator. Since 2002, he's been keeping the machines in CKUT's studios purring and assisting volunteers with all manner of sound operations while also doing things with knobs to produce sweet sounding ads and psa's. A certificate in Audio Production was awarded to Marc form the George Brown College in 1987 and also a BFA in 2000 from Concordia University where he studied musical composition under the tutelage of Allan Crossman. He has previously worked as an art handler and multi-media technician for Evelyn Aimis, A-Space, Galerie Skol, Sylvia Safdie, The Sadie Bronfman Centre for the Arts and the Leonard and Bina Ellen Gallery. Marc also worked as a live sound technician for various venues in Montreal and also at the Mariposa Folk festival. Marc has been in musical groups since the late 80's when he played guitar in hardcore groups and toured North America. Presently he plays and sings in a trance- inducing power-drone rock trio. In addition to his regular chores at CKUT, Marc hosts a regular circuit workshop with many station volunteers. Together they build electronic circuits that make sounds and on occasion have performed improvised pieces of dynamic oscillating waves and fluttering white noises.
