Opened the first recording studio on the Lower East Side. After years of being a professional musician my interest since the mid fifties was the tape recorder.

THis is a work in progress 112/16/2016

1972 Opened EastSide Sound as a sole proprietorship business. November 1972 to August 1975 Constructed 4 track studio, engineered and produced various artists. September 1975 to October 1979 Rebuilt and expanded EastSide Sound to an 8 Track Scully studio. December1979 to 1981 Together with Richard Bittner collectively lost our minds and our wives (thank God!) building a real recording studio by ourselves. Had to demolish 1600 Sq. Ft and live like the dogs we were. We were young and stupid but we loved it. I always built and wired everything by myself, but now I had the Master Richard Bittner in hell with me. 1981 Opened EastSide Sound Co.Inc..

I opened 98 Allen Opco, Inc. DBA EastSide Sound. Totally upgraded to state of the art recording facility with 48 tracks and the mighty Harrison SeriesTen B: the first delivered Mac-based console on earth. That is Mac one in our house! March 1993 to September 2000 Sadly after 30 years I have closed EastSide Sound Studios. For a while I have relocated my productions to the high ceilings-sunlight recording facility LoHo Studios. June 2003 Together with Fran Cathcart collectively lost our minds, again (kept the wives this time!)... The new and improved state of the art EastSide Sound was born.
