Geoff Sanoff
Grammy winning producer and engineer Geoff Sanoff hails from Washington, D.C. and while he hasn’t lived there for many years, his musical sensibilities were shaped growing up in the DC music scene. After college Geoff played in an indie rock band called Edsel and during that time he was bitten with the recording bug, ultimately leading led him to New York, and to a studio called the Place.
Fast forward several years as the Place evolved into Stratosphere, and Geoff has been involved with the studio’s growth for over a decade. In that time he has had the pleasure of working on projects both within the studio’s family (Ivy, Fountians of Wayne, James Iha) and outside of it (Television, the Secret Machines, Nada Surf).
Geoff has worked on all manner of musical projects ranging from rock bands like Green Day and TInted Widows to country folk artists like Hem. He has worked on songs and soundtracks for major Hollywood films, mixing or recording music on films like Music and Lyrics with Hugh grant and El Cantante with Jennifer Lopez. And he has worked on music for television, most recently the Grammy award winning Steven Colbert Christmas special which featured Willie Nelson, Elvis Costello, John Legend,Toby Keith and Feist.
His most recently completed projects include producing and mixing the new album for Sub Pop artists Obits, recording the A Camp and Tinted Windows records, and mixing the new album for South African indie rockers Blk Jks. 2009 Geoff has worked with Green Day, Michael Stipe and Keith Urban and is currently working on new albums for Paramount Styles and the Treasury Department.
