JOSEPH BRANCIFORTE is a multi-instrumentalist, recording + mixing engineer, and composer based out of New York City. 

As engineer, he has worked on over 200 releases for some of the most well-respected names in NYC's creative jazz scene, including Ben Monder, Tim Berne, Vijay Iyer, Nels Cline, Marc Ribot, Mary Halvorson, Steve Lehman, Mark Dresser, Jen Shyu, and Matt Mitchell. Branciforte‘s credits also include a growing number of classical, electronic, and alternative projects ranging from Florent Ghys to Son Lux and The Lumineers.

Albums he has produced, engineered, and/or mixed have been included in the NPR Jazz Critics Poll's Top 10 and Downbeat Magazine's Albums of the Year, and have received praise from publications including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and All Music Guide. His engineering and production work can be heard on ECM Records, Sunnyside Records, Pi Recordings, Cantaloupe Music, Cuneiform Records, Cryptogramophone, and Skirl.

He is also the co-leader, co-composer, and drummer of the the cellar and point, a "garage-chamber" septet formed in 2010. The group, which combines aspects of modern composition, jazz improvisation, and pop/rock songwriting has been called “one of the most interesting bands of the moment, perhaps able to answer the question ‘where is music going?’” (All About Jazz) 

The band’s debut record, Ambit - produced, engineered, and mixed by Branciforte - was released on Cuneiform Records in late 2014. All Music Guide lauded Ambit as “one of 2014's finest albums of challenging, engaging, and genre-defying contemporary music,” and John Schaefer, host of WNYC’s New Sounds, included the recording on his Top 10 Albums of 2014. BBC Radio commented on the album’s production merits: “Sonically, it's a fantastic record... well worth your listening on headphones. It's really well-engineered, beautifully produced.”

Branciforte similarly played the role of producer, recording engineer, and mixing engineer on Ben Monder's Hydra (Sunnyside, 2013), “an eight-song set of impossible, beautiful, mind-melting music” (The Village Voice / #3 Jazz Album of 2013). JazzTimes called the project “technically brilliant and radiantly produced,” while Stereophile Magazine awarded it five stars for sonics: "The sound captures every intimate string squeak, fat bass tone, warp-speed ensemble passage, and ghostly vocal swell.” 

Joseph is also in-demand as a location-recording engineer. He has engineered multitrack recordings at dozens of NYC clubs, halls, and stages including The Village Vanguard, The Iridium, The Stone,  Roulette, Issue Project Room, The Jazz Gallery, Central Park Summerstage, and Carnegie Hall's Neighborhood Concert Series. 

He has recently begun contributing as a writer for TapeOp magazine.
