Description:
Veteran Milwaukee musician-producer-engineer Gary Tanin’s career, spanning decades, is a study in the convergence of musical creativity and technology.

At age 16, Tanin had already laid the foundations for his calling. Ambitious and business savvy, he landed a record deal with Odessa Records for the rock group Medius who both recorded and performed his compositions.

While attending the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, during the early 70s, Tanin apprenticed as an audio engineer at ARCO Recording Studios, where he studied the Art and Alchemy of audio recording and production. In the mid 70s he released the critically acclaimed, self-produced concept album Otto & The Elevators. He produced dozens of artists during the 70s and 80s, continuing to hone his artistic and technical sensibilities.

In the early 80s Tanin redefined himself by diving headlong into newly emerging computer technology, which allowed him to combine elements of digital technique with the art form. He has had numerous articles published in a number of industry publications, including the CMC Source Book and AfterTouch(tm). This level of multi-dimensionality was the essential ingredient required in working with Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads.
