About Alan Parsons Live Project
Famed audio engineer turned conceptual symphonic rock designer/musician Alan Parsons was born in Britain in 1948. He discovered a love for music through flute, piano and guitar at an early age.
On the heels of his blossoming demand as a sound engineer, Parsons decided to begin creating his own thematic records and founded the Alan Parsons Project in 1976. Although he occasionally played keyboards and infrequently sang on his records, the Project was designed primarily as a forum for a revolving collection of vocalists and session players to interpret and perform Parsons and songwriter/manger Eric Woolfson's conceptually-linked, lushly arranged and orchestrated music.
After a series of successful album releases and chart-riding songs, including Games People Play, Time, and Eye in the Sky, Parsons continued without Woolfson is pursuit of bringing the full effect of his music to the live concert stage.
As the man at the audio controls for some of rock 'n’ roll history’s most prolific recordings, including engineer for Pink Floyd’s legendary Dark Side of the Moon and assistant engineer for the Beatles’ epic Abbey Road, Parsons honed his abilities as one of the most sought after studio men in the business.
