Job Title
Musical Director, Recording Engineer, Sound Supervisor & Designer

Andre Jacquemin remembers the day he was asked to engineer some comedy records for a young group of writers in London. He thought, who will want a record with only jokes? That group of writers became the nucleus of Monty Python and, over the years, Andre became their musical director. For over fifty years with Monty Python, he has written and recorded music for the records, television programs, and their movies, which has indeed been a dream job! His credits include co-writing “Every Sperm is Sacred” for Monty Pythons Meaning of Life as well as "The Brian Song" for the opening of Monty Pythons Life of Brian movie.
