Simon van Zwanenberg

An articulate and enthusiastic communicator and motivator, known for his perpetual good
humour, high standards and breeding poultry, Simon has mixed tracks in Indonesia, live classical
concerts in Bulgaria, ‘front of house’ at the famous Marquee Club in London, and recorded in New
College Chapel, Oxford. He also mixed one of first high-resolution (24-bit/96kHz) tracks for DVD
-Audio, and more recently has manned the faders at the impressive Covent Garden facility The
Hospital, as broadcast Sound Supervisor on various TV productions, and has been awarded his
Certificate in Training Practice by the CIPD.

Simon took the once archetypical route through the recording industry: beginning as a tape-op
at the illustrious Town House Studios in London in the early ‘eighties, leaving to join the newly
opened MasterRock Studios as an assistant, progressing to in-house engineer at the legendary
Roundhouse Studios in Camden, before embarking on a freelance career. Moving on to foremost
console manufacturer Solid State Logic, initially as Product Specialist, becoming Senior
Operational Training Engineer, he trained clients, engineers and producers from Rio de Janeiro to
Beijing, and was involved in the product development of SSL’s broadcast and music mixing desks.
