George Chkiantz is a British recording engineer, based in London, who has been responsible for the engineering on a number of well-known albums, many of which are considered classics, owing in part to the quality of the recordings.
Upon hearing the result, Jimi Hendrix and his engineer, Eddie Kramer applied Chkiantz's concepts, creating stereophasing on the songs "Bold As Love" and "Little Wing".[2] Deciding to utilize his abilities more fully, Hendrix hired Chkiantz to customise the studio's equipment for Axis. Chkiantz was credited in the production as "tape operator."[2] Hendrix used to refer to George Chkiantz and Eddie Kramer's stereo phasing technique as the sound he had been "hearing in his dreams".[3]
