Why Madison?

Sonic Foundry was founded in Madison in 1991 by University of Wisconsin graduate and Wisconsin native Monty Schmidt.

Built on an isthmus between lakes Monona and Mendota, Madison is renowned for its beautiful scenery and vibrant downtown, where the University of Wisconsin’s flagship campus meets the Wisconsin State Capitol. Natural beauty, unique restaurants and shops, rich cultural offerings and an irreverent spirit – Madison is inextricably woven into Sonic Foundry’s culture of innovation.

Madison is located just one hour from Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin, the home of Frank Lloyd Wright. The ideas, concepts, theories and techniques applied to every structure that bears Frank Lloyd Wright’s imprint had their genesis here. Weekend tours are available.
