OM•AV (originally Sound Proofs) Recording Studio was founded by Stefan Podgrabinski in the summer of 1985 as a shortcut to producing his own album. More than a decade and a half later, although he and others at the studio have produced many albums, CDs, film and television scores, numerous commercials, and "industrials", Stefan's first album is still not done. The "shortcut" turned into a long and exciting journey through the musical exploits of hundreds of creative geniuses all eager to express themselves.
