Technical Engineering Clients
Anton Sanko - TV and Film Composer
Composer, musician, producer, Anton Sanko wears many hats. His credits range from TV shows like Big Love to movies like Steve Buscemi's Handsome Harry. He also worked with pop star Suzanne Vega as her musical director, co-producer and touring musician. Anton depends on Audio Perception to keep his studio up and running at all times. Working on both a hit TV show, while also scoring movies, creates a demand for a very flexible studio setup. Anton also likes to record lots of live instruments like guitar and woodwinds in his scores, so his room had to be ready to take on that challenge. Although both Anton and his assistant Joel are both very tech savvy, they work with Audio Perception and depend on our many years of experience to help them make the right decisions when it comes to buying equipment, updating the studio, or just help getting something installed right the first time.
Lisa Loeb - Artist / Songwriter / Actor
Singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb started a revolution without even knowing it. She is forever in the history books as the first artist to have a number one single while not signed to a recording contract. Her efforts now include music, film, television, voice-over work and even children’s recordings. Along with her five studio CDs, she has appeared in two television series and recently launched her own non-profit organization, The Camp Lisa Foundation, designed to help underprivileged kids attend summer camp. Lisa depends on Audio Perception's Jason Atkinson to keep her home studio up and running. She uses Digidesign's Pro Tools software to 
record her own vocals, piano and guitar for works in progress. Jason spent time with Lisa cleaning up her system and answering tech questions too. He was also there to help out setting up her studio after she had a move across town. Speaking of moving, now that Lisa recently lives in New York City, Audio Perception's Tech team is still available for phone or video chat support.
Matt Sorum - Recording Artist
Rock 'n' Roll and politics? Drummer Matt Sorum is no stranger to either. With a very successful musical career spanning over three decades, Matt has worked with a wide variety of artists and groups over the years, most notably Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver. His earlier years include stints with Prophecy, Chateau, Population Five (which included bassist Prescott Niles from The Knack), and Y Kant Tori Read (fronted by singer/songwriter Tori Amos). He was also the live touring drummer for The Cult in 1989. During Matt's formative years, his mother was a music teacher, and he credits that and his participation in high school orchestra, jazz and marching band classes as a critical impetus for his music career. To that end, Matt has become an outspoken and involved proponent of arts education and funding, making trips to Washington D.C. to help promote the cause to Congress. 
Matt operates his own recording facility Drac Studios, that stays very busy working with both established and new music artists. He relies on Audio Perception's knowledge and experience to keep his room running smoothly, as well as work on special projects. We recently added new audio gear and rewired Matt's entire equipment rack.

These days, the Transcenders have been hard at work composing for TV shows such as Gossip Girl, Joey, and 20/20, along with a

Lisa Jaime - Feature Film Music Editor
With credits like The Rock of Ages, A-Team, Hairspray, Rocky Balboa, Rent and Panic Room, Lisa Jaime is no stranger to the film business.
As a feature film music editor, she defiantly knows what it takes to be on top of her demanding projects. Time is always tight and the expectations to perform in the cutting room as well as the dub stage are high. Lisa depends on Audio Perception to keep both of her Digidesign Pro Tools systems running smoothly so there is never a problem when the pressure is on.
"David and Jason have proven to be lifesavers many times over, especially to someone like me who is always on a tight schedule. They've helped with everything from configuring new systems and fixing tricky problems, to just being able to quickly explain how the latest new "something" works, when I don't have time to sit with the manual. Audio Perception gets my highest recommendation."
