Paul Blakemore has been a full time audio/music engineering and production professional for over 30 years. He was nominated for a Grammy (in 2005 in the best surround category) and has worked on several Grammy winning classical and jazz CD's.

Blakemore has also worked in broadcasting and received a Peabody Award in 1980 for his role as technical director for National Public Radio's "Jazzmobile Sunday Festival." Furthermore, he received both a Summit and Aurora award for his surround sound design for a short film called "One River, Many Voices" in 1997. Paul Blakemore has done ADR work on feature films including "Enemy of the State" with Will Smith, "The Chamber" with Gene Hackman, and "The People Versus Larry Flynt" with Woody Harrelson.

Blakemore has worked on virtually every style of music from classical to jazz, pop to metal, bluegrass to folk, and world music and is currently on the production staff at the Telarc/Heads Up division of the Concord Music Group.

Telarc and Heads Up have acquired a turnkey Sequoia digital audio workstation from L.A. based sequoiaDIGITAL for use in their Cleveland production facility.

The system is being used for editing and mastering compact discs and the PCM layer of hybrid SACD's. It will also be used for stereo and surround mixdown of certain projects.

"We chose Sequoia for several reasons," says Paul Blakemore, "but primarily because its audio quality is up to Telarc's standards. I'm a huge fan of the software".
