Myles' early experiences in moving to Los Angeles occurred with a band he co-founded and played as a guitarist/song writer in, that led to meeting many in the recording industry in Hollywood in the early 1990s. During this time, he built his own recording studio but also was contracted to work at various other legendary studios in Hollywood, including the famous but now closed [https://grandmasterrecorders.com/history Grandmaster Recorders]. He worked with many established clients and was on the cusp of building a reputation in LA as a desired producer & sound engineer.

After his daughter graduated, he and his wife bought an acre of land in the town of San Miguel de Allende and began building a large home and world class recording studio. The studio was modeled to be a replica of the world famous [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5834179/Inside-ruins-George-Martins-Montserrat-studio-rotting-away-beneath-volcano.html AIR Studios Montserrat] - known for it defining the sound of the music of the 1980s, but unfortunately was destroyed by a hurricane & any chance of rebuilding it was dashed by a volcano eruption on the island. But Myles found the original team that built that studio and with their help will construct his studio (at least the live room) to be a homage to Sir George Martin's vision of the past. | ||
In Myles' view, the world of technology & organic art must live in concert with each other, and as he has witnessed working in both technology & music for decades, the technology is defining music but away from the human roots that once defined it. It is Myles' goal to bring music back to those roots, and he chose Mexico as the place to do this since it has a vibrant art & cultural backbone and hasn't been corrupted by too much technology overtaking that art. | In Myles' view, the world of technology & organic art must live in concert with each other, and as he has witnessed working in both technology & music for decades, the technology is defining music but away from the human roots that once defined it.
