Available to hire
Hi, I’m Bennett Markoe, a passionate sound engineer and music composer with extensive experience in sound design, mixing, and editing. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work on exciting projects including Stranger Things, Prey, and Winning Time, as well as live concert setups and music composition for various artists. My background ranges from working at Deluxe/Pacific Standard Sound to mentoring under the legendary Bruce Botnick.
I pride myself on my technical expertise and creative approach to sound engineering, and I love collaborating with talents across the music and film industry to bring their projects to life. When I’m not behind the desk, I enjoy jazz bass and composing music, constantly pushing my craft forward.
