Biography
Early Life & Education
Though he studied music and played keyboard as a child, an early interest and aptitude for math and sciences drove Chahine to complete a BA in Physics. While undertaking specialised studies in Psychoacoustics, his curiosity about the physics of sound and its relation to music led him to audio engineering.[8]
Live Music Production
After completing his training as a recording engineer in France, Chahine returned to Beirut where he worked as an audio consultant and live mixing engineer with various artists. During this time, he was also partially responsible for developing the sound and acoustic treatment of MusicHall (Beirut) and Metro Al Madina, two of Beirut's premier live music venues.[9] Chahine also worked as the Music Director for several productions in Beirut.[10][11]
Research & Development
After a decade working in Beirut, Chahine returned to Europe to work in research and development of algorithms related to 3D Sound at Pinguin Inc. in Hamburg, Germany.[12] He has been invited to give guest lectures at the SAE Institute Berlin and consulted by Focusrite for his professional opinion on new products within the audio engineering market.[13][14]
Studio Production
While living in Beirut, Chahine worked on several influential albums within the Middle Eastern music scene with producers Michel Elefteriades, Ziad Rahbani, and others. He mixed and mastered "Sukoon" an album released after the early death of Palestinian composer and musician Mohsen Subhi.[15][16]
After moving to Berlin, Chahine founded Musigma, an audio consulting, production, and distribution company. Through Musigma, Chahine has worked with artists and musicians in Europe and the Middle East to produce and distribute music with a wide team of experts, working at Riverside Studios, Jazzanova Recording Studios, and Blackbird Music Studio among others in Berlin.[17] He has also mixed music for film, including German drama Tiger Girl (film), which was screened at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival.[18]
