About Us
MudsharkAudio is now entering its twentieth year of operation! Mudshark was first conceived as an
audio restoration company specializing in vinyl and tape media, and we soon broadened our scope to
include live, location, and studio recording. Our capabilities have grown immensely over the years with the goal
of offering our artists the tools, equipment, and expertise necessary for them to produce a
professional collection of recordings, whether it's a short demo or major label release. Our production and preproduction work
has allowed artists to receive financial assistance from the
Canada Council for the Arts
and Ontario Arts Council
and to continue their projects with us. We have worked with local and international artists alike, and strive for the
same world class expectation.

JASON THOMPSON first launched Mudshark Audio in 2001, and soon completed a number of restoration
contracts for international clients. Jason is a seasoned recording engineer. He studied at Ottawa's
TARA Audio Recording Academy where he earned top marks, and then went on to work for several studios,
and sound reinforcement companies. This background, coupled with his passion for live recordings,
naturally led to the expansion of Mudshark to include mobile recording capability. Previous to his
recording studies, Jason's musical training was on the drums and guitar, thus yeilding his critical
ear for percussion. Jason is also an A+ Certified Computer Technician.
ANDREW BRITTAIN is current owner and operator of MudsharkAudio. His duties as
Executive Director include producing, engineering, arranging and song writing.
Clients of note are Warner Brothers Records Inc., the Finnish rock band HIM, and the National Arts Centre Orchestra.
Andrew was accepted to Waterloo's prestigious electrical engineering program but instead decided
to follow his passion and turned his studies to the Humanities and Social Sciences,
ultimately deciding to study Music. He received scholarships at the University of
Ottawa and Carleton University where he studied Classical and Jazz music and where he
retained a 96 percent grade point average. His music studies have included classical and jazz
guitar, voice, music theory, arranging and composing techniques, as well as acoustics and
recording technology. Andrew has taught guitar and music theory for over a decade. In
addition to recording classical and jazz music, he has worked with a number of
international artists, and is very active in co-writing and producing rock, folk, and pop music
with rising artists.
