With experience that includes 30-plus years as both an active AES member and as an audio technologist, Jonathan Wyner has started his term as President of the Audio Engineering Society.
Wyner’s professional industry involvement currently includes his roles as Chief Engineer at M Works Mastering, Education Director for iZotope in Cambridge, Massachussetts, and Professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston. His longstanding commitment to the AES is demonstrated by his multiple roles in the Society, including serving on the Board of Directors, the Board of Governors, and as a member of multiple committees including Broadcast and Online Delivery and the Recording Technology and Practices Technical Committee and the Diversity & Inclusion committees.
‘The AES is the most varied international assemblage of experts, thought leaders, researchers, manufacturers and practitioners of audio in the world,’ he says . ‘During our recent fall event we had attendees from 82 countries. Each of us has our individual interests and goals for our work, but a passion for audio ties us together. There are so many interesting and exciting developments taking place in the world of audio. The pillars I am energised to stand up can be summed up in three words: Equity, Sustainability and Innovation.’
Is addition to being an accomplished musician and performer, Wyner mastered and produced thousands of recordings including work by James Taylor, David Bowie, Aerosmith, Kiri Te Kanawa, the London Symphony, Miles Davis, Semisonic, Thelonius Monk, Pink Floyd and Nirvana. In 2012 he authored Audio Mastering: Essential Practices, published by Hal Leonard/Berklee Press, and has also authored undergraduate and graduate course materials for Berklee Music Online.
‘Jonathan has proven his leadership and vision during his year on the AES Board of Directors as President-Elect,’ comments outgoing AES President Agnieszka Roginska. ‘The AES is in excellent hands for the coming year.’
