About Synoptic Sounds

Synoptic Sounds is an audio production and publishing company, currently based in Northern California, USA. Owned by Lloyd Minthorne, Synoptic Sounds began in 1984, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as a small project studio, helping local musicians record and produce their music. In 1987, Lloyd re-located to the San Francisco Bay area to attend the “College for Recording Arts”, and further his career in the music industry. After graduating Magna Cum Laude, he has been in high demand around the Bay area as an audio engineer, composer, producer, arranger, & sound designer for numerous recording studios, theaters, film producers, and performing artists. The Synoptic Sounds recording studio has since grown into a state-of-the-art recording facility, utilizing some of the newest technologies in the audio field. Synoptic Sounds continues to grow and expand it’s services and creative possibilities by embracing new technologies, and ever-expanding the scope of it’s services. Future plans include video production, expanded publishing and marketing services, and performing research on the effects of various sounds upon the human mind and body.
The word “synoptic” means “characterized by, or affording a comprehensive view”. This title was chosen because it represents the underlying philosophy of this company: to understand, or to see clearly! It is important in any working relationship to understand the intentions or motivation underlying the visible or audible results. If this is understood, then there is a more cohesive effort among the participants, and the outcome reflects this. Also, it is important to understand the technology used in any given project, in order to more effectively bring it from conception into reality in an efficient way, and to not let the technology impede the creative process, but to enhance it and to expand the possibilities beyond what the artist had originally conceived. Synoptic Sounds seeks to fully understand whatever project you are involved in, and help bring it to life in a bigger, better and more efficient way than you ever dreamed possible.
