Astro Spatial Audio has recruited Graham Murray to take the position of Global Business Development Manager.
A respected figure within the professional audio industry, Murray brings 35 years’ industry experience and expertise to his new role, alongside the determination to ‘raise Astro Spatial Audio’s profile on a worldwide level and cultivate the success that this astonishing technology deserves’.
With both technical expertise and a deep knowledge of the global audio industry, Murray has worked across market sectors covering high-end broadcast and postproduction to the studio sector and live sound. Most recently he held the position of Sales Director, EMEA for the Harman Pro brand, Studer, while in the past he has served with Calrec, Fairlight and AMS Neve.
Murray joins Astro Spatial Audio during a period of rapid expansion, with a string of reference projects having taken place over the past 12 months. These include the completion of a landmark object-based immersive audio installation within the Berlin Opera House, and the creation of a fully immersive audio experience for The Band’s Visit musical on Broadway.
‘Having watched ASA’s progress over the last two years, it is a great pleasure to finally join the team and become part of the company’s amazing journey into the 3D, immersive audio arena,’ Murray says. ‘Astro Spatial Audio’s founder, Bjorn Van Munster, has done an outstanding job building the brand with some significant successes in high-profile venues across the globe. With this exciting technology and the brand agnostic nature of the Sara II Premium Rendering Engine, I look forward to helping Astro Spatial Audio establish itself as the industry standard platform it deserves to be.’
‘Astro Spatial Audio has grown quickly and I’m very proud of what we have achieved so far, but we have also been watching carefully for the right person and the right opportunity to help us expand even further,’ says Van Munster. ‘Now, with Graham’s extraordinary experience and knowledge we are ready to leap to the next level.’
