(This biography was written before Geordie's passing)

A musician and entrepreneur with a technical mind and an eye for innovation, Geordie Hormel is also the epitome of low profile. As the owner and absentee guiding light of The Village recording studios in West Los Angeles, he has followed his own creative path and, in the process, helped The Village to achieve world-class status.

He's been a performer, composer, record company owner, equipment dealer, and always, ahead of his time. He takes little credit for his work. By his own rough guess, Hormel had cue music in about half of all the filmed television shows of the 1950s and '60s, from Lassie and Ozzie & Harriet to The Fugitive and The Untouchables, yet he claims that his successes have always been a series of fortuitous accidents.
