Interesting music, art, design, pro audio, architecture, theatre and staging have been passions for us since the beginning when we
met and formed AUDIO SHAMAN in 1976.


CHARLIE SWEENY
SONIC ALCHEMIST / PRODUCER

Charlie's background includes 10 years of formal classical violin training – singing and playing bass and keyboards in all-original bands – the creation of annual outdoor music festivals – and amassing a collection of 17 vintage analog synthesizers.

His career as an advertising creative director spans work at multinational ad agencies in the West US, and overseas in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan – servicing high-profile, multi-hundred-million-dollar print, direct mail and TV accounts.

Charlie has also worked in marketing for music product and pro audio brands – including SWR bass amplification (acquired by Fender), Groove Tubes (also acquired by Fender), VHT / Fryette and Barbetta amplification, and CAE Sound
pro audio repair and servicing.


KRISJON SVANBERG
SONIC ALCHEMIST / CO-PRODUCER

Krisjon started playing piano as a teenager, and studied music theory with Virginia Smedberg, violinist with San Jose Symphony Orchestra.

He met Charlie at College of San Mateo
through their mutual interest in the progressive rock band Yes, and formed several bands
playing guitar and synthesizers.

Since then, he's pursued a career in architecture, working on commercial projects worth $65M – and residential projects as large as $39M.

Music and audio production continue to be
his passions, and Krisjon represents AUDIO SHAMAN throughout Northern California from
our San Francisco office.


DICK GARRETSON
SONIC SENSEI

In 1971, while an audio engineer at Ampex
Corporation in Redwood City, California,
the late Richard 'Dick' Bruce Garretson was
experimenting with quad audio recording.

Later, his Hansonic and Garretson Sound
Service companies provided professional audio
for Bay Area theatrical productions...

Merriem Lanova-Bischof's Theatre Ballet of
San Francisco's Nutcracker touring show...

The Harrison Street Theatre (with production executives from Bill Graham Presents)...

Lamplighters Music Theatre...

And, most notably, sound design for Steve Silver's iconic Beach Blanket Babylon –
the world's longest-running musical revue.

Dick was instrumental in the formation
and backing of AUDIO SHAMAN – and our
modern-day Sonic Alchemy of a four-source-point QUADSONIC system was inspired by his
quad audio work from the 1970s.

Dick was our sensei – our mentor and friend.
And he left us all too soon.

Since gin-and-tonic was always Dick's favorite drink, it's become tradition to keep an unopened
bottle of Tanqueray at the mixing desk –
ready and waiting for his return.
