Beyond his professional achievements, Andy Snavley is a lifelong music and sound experimenter and collaborator. Raised in a family of musicians, inventors, artists, and educators, Andy's passion for sound began early when, at the age of five, his mom gave him a cassette tape recorder, sparking his fascination with recording stories, sound effects, music, and voices. This progressed quickly to tape manipulation and electronic sound generation. This early exploration was revived in 2004 when he founded BENDY with the intention of combining technical excellence with creative experimentation. Andy's philosophy emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between sound and imagery, aiming to evoke emotions and thoughts in the audience without overtly revealing the underlying technical craftsmanship.
Andy's commitment to environmental sustainability and community impact is evident in Bendy's design and operations, reflecting his belief in advancing both the craft of sound and societal well-being. This is exemplified by the eco-conscious studio BENDYsound, which he opened in 2012. The studio incorporates advanced technology, including a Dolby ATMOS mixing suite, alongside sustainable practices such as solar energy and water recapture systems. This dual focus on artistic innovation and responsible practices underscores Andy's unique approach to sound and his dedication to pushing the boundaries of his field. He is an active member of the Cinema Audio Society, the American Federation of Musicians, and the Screen Actors Guild.
