About

Hello and welcome!

I’m Sigmund Quadros — a jack-of-many-trades and a firm believer that doing just one thing in life can get painfully boring.

I work as a Touring Live Sound Engineer, and when I’m not behind a console, I’m usually on an adventure motorcycle, a bicycle, or behind a camera. I also teach when I can, write when I procrastinate, and generally enjoy staying in motion. Curiosity, movement, and fulfilment under the many hats tie it all together.

Over the years, I’ve spent a good amount of time travelling to bring concerts and music festivals to life—perfecting the art of catching sleep in cabs, flights, and backstage corners. My work spans intimate venues to large-format festival stages, with a focus on musical intent, artist comfort on stage, and clarity that feels effortless to the audience (even when it very much isn’t behind the scenes). I also enjoy mentoring upcoming audio engineers, passing on lessons learned the hard—and loud—way.

Artists & Collaborations

I’ve had the opportunity to work with artists across film music, independent acts, folk traditions, fusion projects, and international touring productions, shaping a practical, artist-first approach to live sound.

Select Artists & Projects include:

Mithoon · Adnan Sami · Shilpa Rao · Merlin D’Souza (Soul Yatra / Filmytronix / Symphony) · Aasma · Vasuda Sharma · Ta Dhom Project · A Band Of Boys · Luke Kenny · Kanishk Seth Trio · Maati Baani · Raaga Fusion · Aflatunes · Hamza and The Rajasthan Folkstars · Adi-Dishaan · Kanika Malhotra Music · Antara & Ankita Nandi · Sara Lugo (Germany/France) – India Tour · Macka B (Jamaica/UK) – India Tour · Jahsun and The Rising Tide (US) – India Tour · Desmadre Orchestra (Argentina) – India Tour

Festivals & Live Productions

• Magnetic Fields Festival — 6 editions and counting

• GIFLIF Music Festival — 3 editions, including Audio Director, overseeing systems, teams, and show execution

Across these productions, I work closely with production managers, stage teams, lighting designers, backline techs, and fellow engineers, because great live sound is always a team effort. Whether it’s a fast soundcheck, a tight changeover, or a touring workflow refined over weeks on the road, my focus stays the same: reliability, musicality, and trust—on stage and out front.

When I’m not behind a console, you’ll find me on two wheels (or maybe four), filming the journey, or attempting to pedal away life’s problems slowly—sometimes successfully.

SigmundQ.com is where all of this comes together: live sound, travel, stories from the road, festival insights, and the occasional mishap. A reflection of a life lived across stages and highways—because, honestly, doing just one thing in life can get painfully boring.
