Soundcraft's Graham Blyth Receives AES Fellowship Award
At the Opening Ceremonies of the 123rd AES Convention in New York City, Soundcraft technical director and co-founder Graham Blyth was presented with the prestigious Fellowship Award "in recognition of his distinguished career in mixing console design and service to the Society", noted AES president Wieslaw Woszczyk, who officially conferred the award at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center on Friday, October 5th.
"I was both surprised and delighted to be awarded an AES Fellowship, particularly because I've never presented any papers on my subject," notes Blyth. "What I have learned and done in the 37 years I've been designing consoles has more to do with having green fingers and a very inquiring mind than any structured research process, so I was flattered for the recognition of my contributions. It was also an honor to share the stage with such luminaries as Bob Ludwig, Phil Ramone and Neil Muncie, who have all truly had a profound impact on this industry that we love."
According to the AES Opening Ceremonies brochure, the Fellowship Award is presented each year to a very select few Society members that have "rendered conspicuous service or [are] recognized to have made a valuable contribution to the advancement in or dissemination of knowledge of audio engineering or in the promotion of its application in practice."
