Mr. David Payne started Muzicraft in 1952 in Santa Barbara, California. With a population around 45,000, Mr. Payne introduced MUZAK to Southern California. I’m sure you know the term Muzak now, but please remember that the term Muzak wasn’t trademarked until two years later in 1954! Additionally, Muzak wasn’t anything close to the music we here from MOOD, today. The music was programmed in 15-minute blocks, gradually getting faster in tempo and louder and brassier in instrumentation, to encourage workers to speed up their pace. Following the completion of a 15-minute segment, the music would fall silent for 15 minutes. This was partly done for technical reasons, but company-funded research also showed that alternating music with silence limited listener fatigue, and made the “stimulus” effect of Stimulus Progression more effective.
With over sixty years of experience, we are the oldest family run MUZAK / MOOD Media franchise in the world. David Payne founded MUZICRAFT in 1952 and at 83 years young, he continues to show that customer service doesn’t come in the form of an email but a personal visit.
