Join us on a spiritual, empathic and emotive conversation with Michael Sutherland, from Sutherland Sounds, as we journey into understanding how practicing the foundation learnt at university has enabled Michael to invite chaos into his music production. We talk about studio etiquette and building/holding the space for musicians to work their magic.

He has worked alongside some of New Zealand’s top music producers, helped re-record one of Aotearoa's earliest recording stars ‘Pixie William’ and spills tea with some BTS details on Shapeshifter’s latest album ‘Rituals’. On top of all this Michael’s major project has redefined and helped facilitate and enhance the sensory deprivation experience of Float Tanks globally – while giving back 1/3 of his royalties to conservation efforts annually.

Michael is a musician/producer based in Wellington NZ. He studied at MAINZ and recently graduated the Bachelor of Commercial Music at Massey University. Michael produces and records some of Wellington's local talent/bands and assists on commercial projects with some of the industry's best. Michael is also the creator of "Music for Float Tanks" and electric guitarist for ‘Khailana’. His individual brand is anchored by ensuring the recording process is an enjoyable and wholesome experience for all involved and integrates the idea that music can pursue a much greater social, spiritual, and political purpose outside of Western/Commercial frameworks.

Works of art make rules; rules do not make works of art
