ABOUT THE OWNER
Brian Hewson has been working in the sound and recording industry for over twenty nine years. Back in the early 70’s he was a Bass player then guitar player in many local Bands .He had a keen interest in music and equipment so in 1977 he enrolled in the Media Arts program at Sheridan College in Oakville Ontario to study recording & film . During the 3 year course he had a chance to do many recordings and worked with some up and coming stars such as Rick Santers and Platinum Blonde.

After graduation he began working at Soundpath Productions in Oakville. First as an assistant , then as an engineer .It was here that he worked on some great projects such as Triumphs “Stages” album , the Spoons “listen to the city “album, demos by Lee Aaron , Tim Thorney, Joel Feeney , Lisa Dalbello and many others . As well as hundreds of commercials and film soundtracks.

            While still at Soundpath he began teaching part time at Sheridan College teaching the 3rd year Audio and Recording course, a position which he held for 14 years. During this time he was doing freelance engineering with artists like , The Mercy Brothers and Jeff Bird and also doing live sound on Queen street in Toronto. In 1986 he built a small but efficient studio in Acton Ontario and called it “Escarpment Sound Studio” because of the Niagara escarpment running through the Area.

            For five years he worked out of this small 16 track studio doing demo’s , Commercials and albums including 3 Stompin Tom Connors projects.

Then in 1990 he purchased a 23 acre farm that had a stone barn foundation that he knew would be perfect for the large studio that he wanted to build.

Work was completed in 1991 and the new Escarpment Sound Studio was born. This is where Brian now works full time doing all kinds of recording , producing , guitar playing , and taking care of the studio. After renovating the farm house on the property Brian moved in to the home where he now lives with his wife Barb and his daughter Hannah. In 2009 he taught Audio at the Metal Works Institute and currently has classes at Escarpment Sound.
