Richard Elen has been writing professionally for over a quarter of a century, and has launched, edited and contributed to major entertainment and recording industry journals on both sides of the Atlantic. He is also a recording engineer and producer, has been a partner in an advertising agency and a marketing executive, and was one of the first to begin to develop spaces for environmental organisations and music-related businesses on the Web.

Today he wears many hats including Editor in Chief of Britain's foremost broadcasting history web site, Transdiffusion, and he is Director of Creative Services at Meridian Audio, a top high-end home entertainment manufacturer in the UK.

Prior to this he held a similar position at Apogee Electronics Corp, a leading pro-audio-based digital equipment manufacturer in Santa Monica, CA. He was previously creative associate at the Neilson/Clyne agency (now ClyneMedia) in Nashville. Before that he had his own PR agency and edited the leading pro-audio magazine Studio Sound. Richard was Chief Engineer/Studio Manager at KPM Studios (EMI Music) in central London and has been an engineer (studio and live) and producer since the mid-70s (and still is today on a freelance basis).

Richard was involved in the development of the UK-designed surround-sound system Ambisonics, and has recorded and mixed over fifty albums with the system, as well as writing numerous articles on the topic.

He also designs and manages web sites, primarily for environmental organisations such as the Cheetah Conservation Fund UK and others. He built his first site in the internet's Jurassic period, for the Climate Action Network in the early 1990s.
