Transient Sound is Steven Gillis (owner, producer, engineer, mixer, drummer), Vijay Tellis-Nayak (owner, producer, engineer, mixer, mastering engineer, pianist/keyboardist), and Jim Siwek (owner). Our studio is located just one block from the Irving Park Brown Line stop on Chicago’s North side.

Steven and Vijay form the cornerstone of the studio, combining over 40 years worth of music industry experience as musicians, performers, producers, composers and engineers.

Our clients range from singer/songwriters to jazz masters, metal and punk bands, R&B, Gospel and Hip Hop artists and everything in between. We work with our clients to help create a specific plan or path that takes advantage of your individual strengths to produce the best recording we know how. We love what we do, and we love helping clients achieve their goals.

We have all of the great gear and instruments necessary and personal connections to the top instrumentalists and session musicians around. Our recording spaces and two control rooms are tuned and sound great and are very versatile. It’s a comfortable place to create and make music.
