The Board of Directors of Euphonix is pleased to announce the appointment of former Windham Hill Group President, Steve Vining as Chief Executive Officer. With 20 successful years in the music industry, Vining has served in a broad range of capacities and is widely recognized as an innovative marketer. Twice recognized by Variety magazine as one of the industry's most visionary executives (20 Execs with 20/20 Vision, Variety July 1998, 1999), Vining has been instrumental in shaping the careers of some of today's most successful recording artists. Windham Hill's transformation into an adult music powerhouse during Vining's watch saw the label's market share triple in four years through the use of an array of creative marketing techniques including web based programs, national brand awareness campaigns for print and electronic media and the production of full length television programming. "Steve Vining has an extraordinarily broad range of industry experience," notes company founder and Chief Product Officer, Scott Silfvast. "Working with our president, Piers Plaskitt, Steve will lead Euphonix into the exciting arena of Internet Audio. In addition to bringing a wealth of music-industry knowledge and relationships to Euphonix, Steve is equally versed in our other market segments, including on-air broadcast, film and video post production. His presence will add a new level of expertise to the dynamic management team here in Palo Alto," Silfvast concludes. Prior to his tenure at Windham Hill, Vining was Vice President / General Manager of BMG's U.S. Classics company, a role that included overseeing projects on the legendary Red Seal label and the RCA Victor label as well as his work with Manfred Eicher and his ECM label. It was during this time that Vining presided over the meteoric rise in popularity of The Chieftains, whose success resulted in 6 GRAMMY(R) Awards in the world and pop categories and over three million units sold worldwide. "Euphonix has long been recognized as an industry leader for developing cutting-edge audio systems" Vining commented. "The recent Mix Magazine TEC Award for the System 5 digital console (presented during the recent AES Convention in Los Angeles) is testament to the outstanding level of technology being developed by this exciting group. I'm looking forward to working with such a successful team and applying aggressive marketing techniques to bring their ground breaking innovations to broader use in a wide range of industries including applications for the Internet." Based in Silicon Valley California, Euphonix Inc. develops, manufactures and supports networked digital audio systems for music, film & TV post-production, broadcast, sound reinforcement and multimedia applications. In addition, the company is developing software, hardware and support services for Internet-enabled audio production throughout the entertainment industry.
