Meet Geoff Gray – Chief Engineer, owner
Geoff’s first studio experience was at 914 Studios in Blauvelt, NY where he played guitar with his group and guested on various other projects. He caught the bug to sit behind the console and move the occasional fader. Concurrently he met Les Paul and began his studies with the master. He bought a tape machine from Les and Far & Away was born. The move to Colorado afforded the chance to start over in a perfect building with peaceful rural surroundings.
