The Audio Engineering Society Oral History Project was started in 1997 as an activity of the Historical Committee, led by audio pioneer Irv Joel. From then through 2014, Irv and others captured more than 120 interviews with notable figures in the field of audio. The Oral History Project was taken up in 2021 by a new team of contributors who continue the work of expanding the collection. These conversations cover the subjects’ lives, their careers, and their contributions to audio knowledge and practices. Almost all of those interviews are viewable by AES members in the AES Live video collection, and have been consistently among the most-viewed videos in the AES collection.
A distressing number of the past interviewees have passed on, so it’s especially meaningful to hear them talk about their lives and work. Of course, an even more distressing number passed on without being interviewed; in many cases, those voices are now lost to time.
The field of audio and the experiences and expertise of AES members encompasses a wide range of topics. Follow the links below to explore the rich history of the people who built the AES and the audio industry.
