About

Vision

We love what we do....We love sound, video and integrated technology. We believe in what we do and we have a lot of fun doing it. This is an exciting time for those of us who are involved with this industry. Technology is dynamic, exciting and challenging. It's moving in multiple directions, simultaneously creating new opportunities. We believe that we are living in the beginning....that if you look at the big picture, technology today is primitive in contrast to it's destination. Our consulting practice is central to this belief.

Why use a consultant?

For a majority of owners, the process of planning, procuring and implementing integrated systems can be a confusing maze of unknowns. Technology is moving faster than ever and obsolescence is the rule, rather than the exception in a large percentage of today's applications. We are steadfast in our belief that a competent consultant is almost always the key to a cost effective, efficient implementation.

Grancenote Consulting is the result of a lifetime's work of its founding principal. An extremely diverse background, unparalleled experience and industry insight make Gracenote Consulting uniquely qualified.

Our name

We frequently field questions about our name. What is a "gracenote" and how does it apply to acoustics or technology? We use the term in multiple, simultaneous contexts for our business name. Primarily, "gracenote" is a musical term that defines a note, especially an appoggiatura, that is added as an embellishment, printed in small type but not counted in the rhythm. It is intended to suggest articulation in phrasing of musical passages. This fine detail of expression, articulate performance and focused documentation is the essence of Gracenote Consulting.

Why Mississippi?

With most of our friendly competitors located in major metro markets, why is GCI located in East Mississippi? While our roots are in Southern California, we settled in this area for many reasons. Quality of life, easy access to our primary markets and growing opportunities in the growing southeast were key to our decision. Also, we just like it here!

Why music matters

Our experience, expertise and insight to the design process is due in a large part to our involvement in music. Our founding principal is an professional jazz musician, composer and arranger with extensive roots in music at all levels. Read more.
