our story

Cedar Hills Sound was established by William Duncan in December 2001 as a mobile multitrack digital recording studio serving central Illinois. During its initial years, the company primarily recorded local jazz musicians; however, the repertoire has since expanded to include classical, gospel, country, blues, rock, folk, and bluegrass artists from across the nation. While numerous recordings are captured live during performances, studio recording services are also available. Furthermore, access is maintained to several facilities for larger ensemble recordings, such as the Performing Arts Center at Illinois Central College and the Dingeldine Performing Arts Center at Bradley University. Our sound reinforcement services provide state-of-the-art audio technology for small to medium-sized venues. We facilitate audio for the Central Illinois Jazz Society’s monthly concerts, the Rhumboogie Thursday night summer concert series on the Peoria Museum Plaza, Kelleher's St. Patrick's Day and Independence Day events, the Jerome Mirza Jazz Residency at Knox College and the annual world-class Rootabaga Jazz Festival. Additionally, sound services are provided for numerous local and regional groups within central Illinois. Cedar Hills Sound is committed to delivering exceptional, professional audio support for your event. Whether the objective is to record a concert, produce a demo CD or a full commercial release, or utilize sound reinforcement services, we ensure superior audio quality.
