History
Pyramind was founded in 1987 by Gregory J. Gordon as one of San Francisco's first MIDI and digital audio production facilities. Greg developed Pyramind by recording many Bay Area recording artists. Early projects included working on multiple albums with Bay Area luminary Merl Saunders and his collaborations with The Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia. Throughout the 90's Greg expanded Pyramind's operations to address the needs of the tech industry, which led Pyramind to grow into commercial Post Production and interactive audio development. Soon after, Greg diversified Pyramind's reach again with training and networking resources for students and professionals in the new digital audio industry. In 2000, Greg partnered with Matt Donner, to develop the Institute For Advanced Digital Audio Training and become a registered non-degree granting institution with the California Bureau for Private Post Secondary Education.
