Bio
Ken Silber, the founder of Silken Audio, has studied audio engineering with Grammy Award-winning engineers/producers, and since 2003 has been recording throughout Greater Boston at such venues as Jordan Hall, Marsh Chapel, Harvard’s Sanders Theatre, and Boston’s historic Old South Church.
He has worked on the full-time engineering staff at Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Lenox, MA, where he recorded performances by Yo-Yo Ma & Emmanuel Ax, The Tallis Scholars, and violinist Hilary Hahn, to name just a few.
Ken Silber is not just an audio engineer, he's an artist. His editing is graceful; there is always enough lead time at the start and end of a track, which is especially important for live concert recordings. He understands singers (being one himself), as both soloists and in a chorus, and balances any interplay flawlessly.
I am really pleased with the work! You have been favorably compared (excelling) many other recording businesses in the Boston area, since so many of our members have other groups they participate in and receive recordings from. Thanks, Ken. great job!
I am sitting here at home on a snowy day listening to the CD from our Elijah performance on February 5th.... This is a fantastic recording. A huge thank you to Ken!
