A BRIEF HISTORY OF SHANE
Hello, hello! So, for some reason, you want to know more about me. Don’t worry, I won’t judge you…
So, basically, I’ve been into music (and art in general) since before I can remember. My childhood placed an irreversible obsession with art in me; in hindsight, this is probably bound to happen when you grow up in an art gallery (I’m not joking).
I was also a very inquisitive child; science and technology really took hold of my imagination. I was always building stuff, and grew up around computers.
Eventually music won (yay)! And as I developed my instrumental, and songwriting skills over the years, the interest in music, science, and technology eventually united into the only logical thing it could become. That being music technology, computer composition, acoustics, sound engineering, etc. etc.
So to hone my skills, I went to college and University, and then even did a Master’s in electronic composition & music in AV media.
During this I worked furiously in studios, and any and all projects I could find. Where most students spent their student loan on alcohol, I spent the majority of mine on pro audio equipment (because I’m on a whole other level of cool).
After my formal education finished, I began to assemble my own studio, and started creating music for people that needed it. Actually, I even created music when no-one needed it. I had too much music, and had to find a way to share it with the world in a way that meant something to me. I thought I can do my part to help other creators that needed resources, all the while giving me an excuse to compose more music, not to mention promote myself.
That led to me setting up the website in which you are currently on. I built it myself, as I’m always tinkering, and learning to develop websites is kinda useful anyway.
So now I’m in the possession of skills, a lovely little project studio, a cool website, and I’m in the position of doing what I love for a profession.
I called my enterprise ‘Silverman Sound Studios’. Why? Well, an anagram of my full name is “he is a silver man”, and this has become my handle, and username on many a website/account/gamertag thingummy. So the Silverman represents me, and the Sound represents everything I do (mainly, but not limited to music), and Studio, ‘cause, well, it’s a studio… All of that, plus the pleasant alliteration created by three (four?) ‘S’s, makes a name!
Thanks for reading, and I hope we can work together!
