Ben Taylor Recording/Audio Engineer

Ben grew up in New York City, studying classical piano from an early age. He learned his first electronics from his father, who taught radio mechanics at a veterans trade school (at night) and a vocational high school (during the day.) Always fascinated by orchestras, he switched from piano to string bass in order to join the one at his high school. After college, he spent a few years working as a professional musician throughout the New York City area while playing with the Great Neck and Borough Park community symphonies to keep his music reading skills in shape. After being called to play for several recording sessions, he decided to become a recording engineer. His first real job in that field was as assistant tech maintenance engineer at the renowned Record Plant. He soon found a mentor and became an assistant and "ghost engineer," working with Jimi Hendrix, Todd Rundgren, Oregon, The Band and others. His next stop was Elektra/Nonesuch Records, where he remained for six years. While there, he redesigned their New York studios; worked with such artists as Judy Collins, Harry Chapin, Carly Simon and Aztec Two Step; edited many ethnomusicological recordings for the prestigious Explorer Series; and engineered classical projects for the late and legendary Nonesuch producer, Theresa Sterne. Two similar years at Vanguard Records followed. Since then he has worked with all kinds of audio, including independent projects for Island Records, commercials, jingles, post-production for film and TV, and many projects for his own OmniClassic recording firm. A resident of the Valley since 1980, he became a charter member of the Production Studio team in 1993.

Jeanne J Barron Recording/Audio Engineer

Jeanne Barron is a native Arizonan, born and raised in Mesa. Jeanne's love for music developed at a very young age. She began playing the acoustic guitar at age 8, then incorporated percussion into her repertoire during her junior high and high school years. Her penchant for the engineering side of music developed through exposure to technical theatre as a member of her high school stage crew and participation in community theatre productions; it was a passion that would stay with her throughout her college years. While attending Arizona State University to receive both a B.A. in Music and a B.A. in Theatre, Jeanne was also a member of the Sun Devil Marching Band as well as a stagehand for the Department of Theatre technical crew. After graduating in 1996, Jeanne continued her association with ASU through various audio and theatre related jobs, including a position as sound tech for the KBAQ Production Studio. She worked as the audio engineer for the ASU Technology Based Learning and Research department, where she was responsible for the recording of location video shoots and audio post production editing. She also worked as a theatre technician for productions at Gammage Auditorium. Jeanne was the program director of Talk One Network, undertaking the production of nationally syndicated talk radio shows. Interspersed between her work commitments, Jeanne also has experience as a professional percussionist, freelance audio engineer for video productions, and stagehand for Rhino Staging, proving her versatility and love for her craft. The distinguished recipient of two AriZoni awards for theatrical sound design, Jeanne initially returned to Eight in the Operations department and has since joined the KBAQ Production Studio full time as a Senior Broadcast Engineer.
