Sound Techniques
Earlier this year, I started a new job as an IT Trainer for a software development company. Upon joining, I was very surprised to learn of the company history and how close it was to my out of work activities...
"Sound Techniques began its life as a recording studio at 46a Old Church Street, Chelsea, London, SW3 in December 1964, when it was set-up by Geoff Frost and John Wood as one of the early independent sound recording studios in the UK.
Over the next decade some of the best UK folk and folk rock artists recorded at Sound Techniques, and undoubtedly produced some of the best records of the era.
Artists that recorded there included: Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, Sandy Denny, Fairport Convention, Jethro Tull, Steeleye Span, Incredible String Band, The Pentangle, John Martyn, Beverley Martyn, Richard Thompson, Martin Carthy, Judy Collins, John Cale, The Yardbirds and The Who.
During the '60's and '70's, the Sound Techniques studio enjoyed unqualified success at the top-end of the music business as did STL's manufacturing division. The company produced a pioneering range of audio recording desks including the System 12 mixer which was one of the first ever compact desks in production, and was exported all over the world.
The studios closed their doors in 1972 and over the past 33 years, Sound Techniques has diversified into both Television Production and Information Technology."
As you enter our office building, we have the very first System 12 desk in the reception area :o)
Nowadays, we write bespoke software for the Criminal Justice Sector in the UK. Now that's what I call diversification !!
