Joe Mendelson came to NYC from upstate, already a professional musician at the age of 17. He immediately delved into the possibilities of rich multi-media experiences with his groundbreaking groups Fibre, Rise Robots Rise and The Trey Gunn Band, and in 1997 co-founded The Living Room, an institution in the New York music scene. His expertise on the connections of sound and vision led naturally to the establishment of Gramercy Post, formerly Antenna Productions, an Emmy Award-winning post-production studio for films and documentaries, television, commercials, music and aural branding. Joe doesn't just work from Gramercy; he'll happily fly to Sweden, or Mexico, or anywhere else in the world you need something to sound fantastic. His bag's already packed.
Joel Raabe made his way to Gramercy Post from the midwest with a multimedia degree from Bradley University in hand. With expertise in audio, video and web design, he was immediately a vital asset and soon became Gramercy's head engineer. He's since brought in an AICP award for his Durex spot "Get It On," and headed the sound design and mix of WWII in HD, which won an Emmy for Music & Sound in 2010. Joel is our resident zen master, exuding peace and calm (and perfection) in the face of the tightest deadlines.
Beck Henderer-Peña has been producing, recording and mixing music for 15 years, working with artists such as Wayne Horvitz, Bill Frisell, Sharon Jones, Rufus Wainwright and Reggie Watts. He's produced music for countless commercials and regularly records voiceover and mixes spots for major brands like Toyota, MTV, TomTom and McDonalds at Gramercy Post, in conjunction with our friends at Bart Radio. If he's not in the studio, you can probably find him in his flip flops, tacking around Long Island Sound in his sailboat.
Since opening its doors in New York City in 2004, Gramercy Post has earned its reputation as a leader in the audio post production market. The magic formula for this success - the ability to deliver a full range of superlative creative services to the advertising, broadcast, and film industries.
The studio features three mixing rooms, a large recording booth (enough to comfortably fit eight people at one time) with video monitoring of the talent from any room and an all-star roster of award-winning mixers, sound designers, and composers. Gramercy Post is simply a great place to get your audio work done - just sit back in a sun-filled room and enjoy a cup of coffee or one of our many fine teas (we like tea). Voiceover, music, and post mixing for television, film or interweb - with a smile, of course.
Capabilities include mixing for all Dolby formats, complete radio production, custom or stock music, and sound design. Gramercy Post is led by owner/mixer Joe Mendelson and managing director/mixer Anthony Erice. In addition, the staff includes mixers/sound designers Joel Raabe and Allison Casey, and music supervisor Beck Henderer-Peña.
