Fordyce, an analogue veteran, has engineered and produced recording projects in numerous genres, including rock, pop, heavy metal, acoustic as well as doing media and voice-over work. Working with musicians and artists across diverse disciplines and styles deeply influences his work and recording mindset.

Ken shares his knowledge of recording by teaching the Practical Audio Recording Course (PARC since 1986), by being a mentor for the Recording Connection (since 2005) apprenticeship program, and teaching an introductory workshop through the University of Washington’s Experimental College (since 1996). Aaron Parks Aaron is chief engineer at the studio. He began his career at Mirror Sound as a diligent apprentice, and during his time here, has become an integral part of the studio. In addition to having a great ear and aptitude for recording and mixing, Aaron is an electronics whiz, and helps to apply state-of-the art technology to classic models of recording.
