Rory Young--Bio & Partial Discography

 goto Artists By Category | Partial Discography


Bio:
Rory Young has been engineering, composing, and playing music professionally since 1978-- almost since they invented synths to program... Besides working on his own compositions, he has collaborated with many other artists in whatever guise seemed appropriate at the time--be it as engineer, arranger, producer, programmer, cheerleader, what-have-you. He cofounded and built In The Red, Inc. Studio (Mamaroneck, NY) in 1980, which later expanded to become ACME Recording Studios, Inc. in 1984. ACME has been in continuous operation since then (also in Mamaroneck, NY) . 
Mr. Young also participates in other areas of the audio world not directly associated with record production, such as television, advertising, educational market programs, and facility installations and planning. He has been involved in musical instrument design and manufacture, as well--with the innovative designer Ned Steinberger. 

His one yearly foray into 'live sound' is with fellow Greenwich-ite Rob Mathes, who has put on a mega-production Christmas show for the past 6 years. Mr. Young has been FOH mixer for this show each year. Last year it included such artists as Michael MacDonald, Vanessa Williams, David Sanborn, Vaneese Thomas, and Will Lee. 

Lately, he's been doing a bit of computer programming and on-site trouble shooting for musicians who are musicians--not programmers. For instance, he made this web site for ACME. And finally, after a few nominations, he won a Grammy for producing Mama Don't Allow / Tom Chapin / Live Oak Media

He lives in Old Greenwich, CT.--with wife, Bonnie, and son, Daniel (pictured here, at the zoo).
