  DAN GAYDOS, Director, Museum of Sound Recording
  
  Dan Gaydos established The Museum of Sound Recording in 1990 to preserve and display the history of audio technology.His fascination with sound is rooted in his practice as a musician, and his study of linguistics at Cornell in the 70's.From a varied history in fields diverse as restaurant management, landscaping, and construction, in the mid-eighties he focussed on sound, managing and operating his own 16-track music recording facility.Including owning and operating Akinom Recording Studios in Pittsburgh, PA (1986-1988), serving as Sound Department Production Manager at WRS Film Labs (1988-1989), Gaydos began to work in the demanding field of synchronized sound in 1987, first at WRS Motion Picture and Video Labs in Pittsburgh, and then, for almost ten years, as the Sound Area Supervisor and Adjunct Professor of Sound in the TV/Film department of New York University.During that time Gaydos served on the Tisch School of the Arts Advisory Committee for Cantor Film Center building and Design (1994), Consultant for Loeb Student Center's Eisner and Lubin Auditorium, (1995) and central to the planning, design and coordination of Film, TV and Radio's transition from analog to digital formats.He worked on the Dean's Space Committee for renovation of entire Film School, dealing with acoustics and audio issues.He became involved in field reporting for the Tokyo-based radio show Pazz and Jops His work as faculty advisor for radio station WNYU led to his being named Consultant to Germany's Landesanstalt fur Rundfunk (Broadcast Authority) in the state of Nordrhein-Westfalia on Germany's new Campus Radio initiative.In Germany he delivered workshops on creating and maintaining radio facilities, station management, and facility ergonomics and design, and served on a panel at countrywide Medienforum, to discuss various advantages of the presence of college radio within a culture.
  
  His skills as an engineer and his love for the bulky but elegantly engineered audio devices of the pioneering period of electronics led him to start a collection of vintage equipment that would otherwise have been scrapped in the onslaught of digital technology.Soon he found that the audio field needed a place to house its concrete history, or it would forever be lost.
