Oakwood Sound Design

History

I was a music theory and composition major and studied under a renowned composer -- learned a ton of great principles that I apply every day to many genres of music and aspects of production! I think the most important skill he taught me though was the ability to hear what sounds right in my head before I actually do anything. Basically, my studio grew out of a desire to realize my own compositional ideas. Word got out after I started sharing my songs with friends, and... 14 years and looking forward to the next 14! -- John Howard, Owner/Chief Engineer
