“You really have done an amazing job co-writing and producing this song with me. Every time I listen to it I have tears in my eyes. Thank you my friend”
“It’s phenomenal. What killer work man. I love it, the arrangement and mix. Way to go my brother”
“Mate this sounds fantastic!!!!! Love it. Vocals sound Awesome. It was my pleasure being involved”
Music Production
Song Development, EP Production, Final Mix and Mastering.
We have been working with the artist Gary Lindblad for several years now and have produced two collections of songs for him, A Story Tonight and Time to Listen Now.
When Producing a Project…
We curate a team of truly great musicians, singers, sound designers & audio engineers from around the world... people we love to work with, who have a natural ear for the kind of music we make and, who will pour their heart and soul into every song.
Some of the creatives we hired to work with us on this project included Hank Linderman (Eagles, Keb Mo, Chicago) David Raven (Nora Jones, Keith Richards) Neville L’Green, Danny Ybarra, Leon McCrary (John Legend, Chaka Kahn) and John Andrew Schreiner (Aretha Franklin, Cher, Paula Abdul)
“Chris, You’re a genius! This song is definitely Something I Could Love now! Great energy and now the vocal sits in the pocket and is really enhanced by your rhythm parts. Love it”
If you are interested in our team producing a song, EP or Album for you, click the button and let’s chat.Theatrical Trailer
Original Song, Original Score, Sound Design and 5.1 Surround Mix for the 23 Blast Theatrical Trailer. The orchestral parts were recorded at John Andrew Schreiner’s studio. The song, My Soul is Rising would be reprized on the You Got Wings Album.
“We love the music and the song at the end ties it all together. And we got it done in a week”
Many Hats
Partnering with 3 Ring Circus we wore many hats during the development and production of this short film ‘The Release’.
The film addresses the sensitive and polarizing subject of sexual abuse, of carrying the scars of childhood trauma on into adult life.
The film doesn’t try to provide an answer but more of a snapshot of one person’s journey (a true story adapted for film)
Film Producer & More
This was a passion project for me and I would work on this film as a producer, script consultant, sound designer, sound-recordist and sound editor.
I also wrote the original score and mixed the final film cut for distribution.
podcasts
If you are into psychological thriller’s, Check out The Heron. An award winning podcast written and directed by Matt McCarty.
This was a full service production for us, working with the writers from the inception of the project. We recorded the actors, wrote and produced original score and sound design and managed the audio cleanup and final mix.
One of our clients, Moviola, produce a highly rated series of Podcasts called ‘Art of the Frame’ featuring Film and TV editors and visual FX artists, discussing their latest projects. Recent conversations have included James Cameron (Avatar) Glenn Garland (Poker Face) and Dan Lemmon (The Batman) We edit and clean up the audio for each project, mix, master and, prepare the files for streaming.
Ads and TV Spots
Over the years we have written and produced music and sound design for 100’s of promo’s, trailers, corporate videos and ads, for clients such as Apple, Disney, Warner Bros, CBS, NBC, Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, Haier, Imagine Communications, 3 Ring Circus, Cyberbia, Asaph, Fontis, ICF, PBS, MTV, The Outdoor Channel, Pixerati, TBN, Moviola, Ocean Avenue and many more.
The clients always have a story, a message or an emotion they want each soundtrack to carry.
It is our job to interpret that desire by creating custom pallet’s of sound using music or songs, different instrumentation or sound design or, varying the music styles or genres to help each client to reach their target audience.
The Outdoor Channel Promo required an American Rock Soundtrack. We also recorded the actors, provided Sound Design and the final mix.
The Norton Symantec ‘Did You Know’ Campaign wanted a bright upbeat electronic piece
This Haier National Parks spot required more of a traditional Orchestral ‘uplifing’ soundtrack.
This Star Trek composition was a last minute emergency job. It was a Tuesday morning, the show was airing on the Thursday and we were commissioned to write and record a replacement ‘cool jazz’ piece to match all of the final edits in this scene.
Original Song
I wrote and produced this Original Song for the Avon Breast Cancer Foundation, featuring Susie Stevens, Sam Sparro, Hank Linderman and David Raven.
Our Clients wanted ‘their story told’ in a song that had some of that hopeful Disney Movie Pop Song Vibe. So we hired singers and musicians who had worked on some of these Disney features.
“I still don’t know how you wrote and produced it in such a short space of time. But the song is perfect. I hope that an opportunity will appear where we might work together again. ”
Music Telling a Story
We were hired by 3 Ring Circus to provide the original score and sound design for this short film, sponsored by Haier. The film would showcase Haier’s products and, something of the Homeless situation in LA.
This is the tale of a good Samaritan using a Haier Washing Machine to help a lost and wounded soul find his way. This is Hollywood after all.
With no dialog, the music and sound design played a pivotal role in the telling of this story. A throwback to the silent film era, this was a fun and rewarding project to work on.
Custom TV-Trailer
Original Score and Design for the Trailer of Bloodwork, a Television series on Forensic Science.
Our Client wanted the score and sound design to emulate the soundscapes of episodic shows like CSI and so that is what we delivered.
Feature Film Original Song
I wrote ‘You’re Not The One’, an original Song for the break up scene in ‘Win a Date with Tad Hamilton’.
This opened the door for me to write more than 40 songs in one season that were featured in US Network Television shows like, CSI, Without a Trace, NCIS, Las Vegas, Castle, Ted, Brothers and Sisters, Men in Trees, One Tree Hill, Jake 2.0, Cold Case, Cover Me, October Road and more.
Full Service
For the Diamonds Theatrical Promo Trailer we created Original Score and Sound Design, edited the audio and mixed and prepared the trailer for online distribution.
Diamonds was a highly acclaimed international thriller starring Judy Davis, James Purefoy and Derek Jacobi.
