Antares Audio Technologies was founded in 1990 as Jupiter Systems by Dr. Harold (Andy) Hildebrand. From 1976 through 1989, Dr. Andy had worked as a research scientist in the geophysical industry, producing groundbreaking work for Exxon Production Research and Landmark Graphics, a company he co-founded to create the worlds first stand-alone seismic data interpretation workstation. Upon leaving Landmark in 1989, he returned to one of his first loves, music, studying music composition at the Shepard School of Music at Rice University.
Sudeep is NOT the name of a person from the family of the founders.
"Deep" is a Hindi word meaning light. "Su" means pure. So "Sudeep" essentially means PURE LIGHT.
When our parent company - Sudeep Studio - was founded on September 23, 1977 by Shri Nikhil Mehta in Mumbai, India, his main intention was to help talented musicians get their careers rolling. He called it "Sudeep" - a guiding light for all and sundry.
At SudeepAudio.com (born September 23, 1999), we strive to live upto his vision, and be every musician's true friend.
