You can read a bit about me in a moment. But first, check out the music player. One item in the playlist, incidentally (I re-work the playlist fairly often so it isn't always in the same place), is a little something from a while back: The Brew Band (aka The Maltose Falcons) at Topanga Days (CA) in 2002, who kindly put up with me on lead vocals and my friend (and former neighbour) Lisa Salloux on backing vocals for this number, a rendering of The Kinks' Sunny Afternoon. Not perfect, but... hey. Also in the list are some tracks I've recorded/produced with friends and colleagues, and some podcasts/radio documentaries I've put together for Transdiffusion.org.Just click on an item in the playlist to hear it. If you don't stop it (with the 'stop' button top left), it'll go through the next items in the list.An Important Message

Now let's try that first thing again... Richard E – Bio:
Richard has been writing professionally for over a quarter of a century, and has launched, edited and contributed to major entertainment and recording industry journals on both sides of the Atlantic. He is also a recording engineer and producer, has been a partner in an advertising agency and a marketing executive, and was one of the first to begin to develop spaces for environmental organisations and music-related businesses on the Web.
Today he wears many hats including Editor in Chief of Britain's foremost broadcasting history web site, Transdiffusion , and he is Director of Creative Services at Meridian Audio, a top high-end home entertainment manufacturer in the UK.
Prior to this he held a similar position at Apogee Electronics Corp, a leading pro-audio-based digital equipment manufacturer in Santa Monica, CA. He was previously creative associate at the Neilson/Clyne agency in Nashville. Before that he had his own PR agency and edited the leading pro-audio magazine Studio Sound. Richard was Chief Engineer/Studio Manager at KPM Studios (EMI Music) in central London and has been an engineer (studio and live) and producer since the mid-70s (and still is today on a freelance basis).
He also designs and manages web sites, primarily for environmental organisations such as the Cheetah Conservation Fund UK (see below) and others. He built his first site in the internet's Jurassic period, for the Climate Action Network in the early 1990s.
Paul Garrett at KidsLoveAnimals.com produced this 7-minute video introducing CCF, Dr Laurie Marker and their work. Paul kindly supplied me with the original materials so that I could re-edit and re-voice it for the UK.
