The founder of Sound shed systems llc : Jason (Jay) Falcone: Bridging Artistry and Operational Excellence
At Sound Shed Systems LLC, we operate on the belief that exceptional live production is born from a unique intersection: the soul of a musician and the discipline of a first responder. Founded in May 2024, our company is led by Jason (Jay) Falcone, a professional whose career is defined by over three decades of dual-track expertise.
From the Drum Throne to the Mixing Board
Jay’s foundation is built on a lifelong commitment to live performance. As a veteran stage drummer, he possesses an intuitive understanding of the symbiotic relationships among the artist, the acoustic environment, and the audience experience.
This perspective evolved naturally into a career in audio engineering, where he mastered:
Live Sound Reinforcement: Delivering sonic clarity that respects the performer's intent.
Acoustic Dynamics: Expertly shaping sound to suit the unique characteristics of any venue.
Professional Mixing: Crafting an immersive atmosphere that bridges the gap between the stage and the floor.
Precision Forged in High-Stakes Logistics
Jay’s technical approach is reinforced by over 22 years of service as a Resource Coordination Officer within the FDNY’s specialized emergency medical fleet. His tenure was defined by unwavering leadership during the city's most challenging moments:
9/11 and Ground Zero Operations: Serving as a first responder during the September 11 attacks, Jay was on the front lines, navigating the chaotic and evolving demands of the aftermath at Ground Zero.
Pandemic Response: Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, he played a vital role in the logistical coordination of the city's medical fleet, ensuring that critical resources were deployed effectively during an unprecedented healthcare crisis.
Large-Scale Crisis Management: Beyond these events, he managed the deployment of heavy-duty special operations assets—including MERV-1 and MRTU-1—and the massive mutual-aid response to the 2016 Hoboken train crash.
His career has been defined by split-second decision-making, rigorous safety compliance, and the ability to maintain absolute operational control under intense, high-pressure environments.
The Sound Shed Mission
By integrating these two worlds, Jay brings a rare level of reliability to technical event production and AV integration. Whether configuring complex corporate convention spaces, managing independent outdoor festivals, or fine-tuning venue acoustics, Sound Shed Systems LLC delivers projects with the artistic insight of a musician and the relentless precision of a first responder.
