Veteran engineer/producer and studio owner Bob Margouleff will present the Keynote Address at AES 129th Convention. Co-winner (with Malcolm Cecil) of the 1974 Best Engineered Album Non-Classical Grammy for Stevie Wonder's Innervisions, Margouleff has has worked with such major artists as: Devo, Marvin Gaye, Martha Reeves, The Isley Brothers, and of course, Stevie Wonder. He has co-owned Mi Casa Multimedia Studios in Hollywood with partner Brant Biles since the 1990s. The studio specializes in 5.1 soundtrack restoration for feature film DVD and Blu-ray release. Recent credits include: The Sound of Music, all the James Bond and Lord of the Rings films. The title of his address is, "What the Hell Happened?"
Margouleff plans to examine the influence of fast-paced technological developments on creativity—both for better and for worse—and the creative artist’s needs in a technological world. “Yes, we’ve had a digital revolution in music and film, shifting power away from a few big companies and toward greater access,” says Margouleff. “But we must not forget the importance of collaboration among talented artists, engineers and business people who built an entertainment industry that changed the world.”
