Sparrow Sound Design

1970s-2000s recording studio in Chicago, Illinois, founded by Bradley Parker-Sparrow in 1977. Engineers: Bradley Parker-Sparrow, Joanie Pallatto, Sal Vito, Todd Carter, Hillary Bryan. When I was five or six my father gave me a small portable reel-to-reel tape recorder that had a circular clip-on microphone. Sundays were always lazy days and I would often tape the Ed Sullivan show, playing back my early bootleg recordings underneath my sheets, late at night. Glancing into the future little did I know that there would be digital CDs, and that I would be a composer-engineer-label owner. My actual recording career started with one real mic. It was a Teledyne that I found for $12 at Olsons Electric on Lake and Western in the toss out bin. With a used Tandberg-reel to-reel, I would tape jazz and rock bands in my first "studio", the back of a frame building called the Pit #1. The bathtub was in the kitchen next to the space heater. - Bradley Parker-Sparrow ANV: - Sparrow Sound Design Recording Studio
