Miguel Constantino is an independent recording engineer.
Following studies in electronic and audiovisual (DUT Génie electrique, Master Image et Son in Brest), he worked as a musical and technical assistant at the Iannis Xenakis Centre of Musical Creation in Paris (CCMIX). He left to create Constantino Recording in 2005, which he is running in Brittany, France.

He has since recorded numerous bands such as Papier Tigre, Centenaire, Amélie, Sincabeza, Faustine Seilman, Perceval, Fordamage, Passe Montagne, Lebowski, My Name Is Nobody, etc...

His most recent works include the engineering of Choo Choo Shoe Shoot, Elwood & Guthrie, the Patriotic Sunday and Kevin Shea and Matt Mottel's band Talibam.

Miguel's approach favours attention to details in microphone placement and acoustic of the recording venue. He privileges recording live in his studio, but does not exclude working on an instrument-by-instrument basis for productions that require it.

"Our side was expertly recorded Jan 2008 in Brittany France by French producer Miguel Constantino. Mottel’s synth drives deeper than previously heard on records, this track slams from the start & ends in deep dusted sonic residue presented beautifully on 180 Gram Vinyl -- go record with Miguel and experience the sonic epiphanies! (Wallace records 10" LP: www.wallacerecords.com) "

"Miguel Constantino, who has recorded the album, would appear to be the best way to obtain that blasting Chicago Sound without having to go at Albini's Electrical Studio."
( Choo Choo Shoe Shoot / Nextclue )

"It takes sound engineer Miguel Constantino (Fordamage, Papier Tigre) and Bob Weston's mastering (Shellac) for the quatuor to express its full potential in this successfully produced album. The Choochoos' rough and almost fleshless sound takes its ease and gives us a pervasive chill that sticks to our skin."
( Choo Choo Shoe Shoot / Stnt )

"The album is superbly recorded by Miguel Constantino. It has become so usual, that he would make you feel jealous"
( Faustine Seilman / Octopus )

"It is Miguel Constantino, already responsible for recording Passe Montagne, Fordamage or Paper Tigre, who engineered their album. The three Bordelais precisely called on him for his experience of brut and raucous noise, in order to reach a reality close the one they experience on stage."
( Sincabeza / Longueur d'ondes 39 )

"The songs were recorded live in a country house, on a fine carpet in front of a fine chimney. A naturalist recording (by Emiliano Flores and Miguel Constantino) and discreet mastering recreated the impressions of proximity and intimacy characterising the concerts."
