The Nature Of Existence
The Movie
One of my proudest works yet! We went all over the planet, and interviewed hundreds of spiritual and religious leaders, as well scientists, physicists, and even comedians... asking the toughest questions.
The score took me 6 weeks and we do believe we brought you something to look at & listen to!

Prickly Pear
These guys are a laugh a minute. Now days a "Prog" band is a rarety. Their progressive rock is refreshing, and the record is a story that you can climb into and get lost with. The songs go into these diffrent movements that keep your interest.

Paul Jones
Starting All over Again
American listeners first heard Paul Jones in the 60s as the lead voice of Manfred Mann! You might remember Do Wah Diddy when it reached #1! On ths album Jones rips into the staight up blues of Van Morrison & teams up with Eric Clapton on two songs. Check it out.

My Life In Ruins
The Movie
And here she is again cuter and funnier than
ever, Nia Vardalos. Dave wrote a score which had a Bouzouki, strange percussion and a Greek
musically influenced score.. brilliant, and
wait till you see this!

Anna Rose
Nomad
I don't think this yet is Anna's official album
artwork, but it"s the official music and her
writing. I can only say this is her debut album
and you'd never know it. great songs, AND
she's deserves a real listen as she insisted on
everything else to be real..!

Soul Return
In The meantime
JJ comes to me about 2 months ago talking
about putting some friends together to cut
these new songs. Much to my surprise this
stuff just jumped out at me especially when
kelly started to sing. There's a unique twist
on what they have... you'll be surprised...

Norbit
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
We recorded these huge Gospel cues at Cloverland with Dave and
his gang... it also involved a lot of blues music and fun percussion
for his score. The fun we seem to have while recording always
makes it for me. This movie turned out to be a riot.

Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
What a great story this movies has. Dave called upon me and a few others to provide these backbeat, funky and soulful rythms for his score. He wrote these gordeous melodies with his orchestra to bring this movie about a family all the way home.

Running
Out Of Time In Hollywood
The Soundtrack
I wrote the score to this movie in 5 weeks and to this date, it is one
of my proudest efforts. Part of the reason for this, I can identify
with the story and the life in which this crazy chick lived.

We Love You
Mrs Bevins
The challenge here
was to come up with music to fit exactly to the directors existing
themes...
I worked directly for John Bizzare who's editing was amazing considering the footage
he had... You really should see this movie... these comedians are hilarious!

Trekkies
The Soundtrack
Roger always had and has a knack for capturing hysterical comedy. The picture is no different. Jimmie, JJ, and I went after some of this and absolutely had a ball. This movie was a shaker.

Serenity
The Soundtrack
This
is an intense movie, incredible story,
and a ton of work. I was building these
huge drum kits and auditioning them for
the composer. Recorded during the
summer of 2005. What a great sound track!

Monster-in-Law
The Soundtrack
My
job was to build these percussion
kits out of instruments in Logic, then
audition them for the composer: Dave Newman. What a blast and I learned so much...!

The Soundtrack This
was the second score I did for
Paramount. The most interesting thing
about this score was writing just a taste
of style, influenced from several countries
around the world. The movie is a freak! |

Are
We There Yet?
The Soundtrack
I remember having to go on atour with The
Imperial Crwons for the whole month of
October in 2004, right in the middle of this
movie, I was so lucky there were lots of live
drum tracks to cut when I got back.
Funny Story... see it.! |

Man
Of The House
The Soundtrack
This movie was the groundbreaker for me.
The first opportunity I had been given to
play for Dave. I remember my mind being
blown away when Marty and I set up this
octopad. Wow, this is an experience I’ll
never forget! |

Dona and I were introduced this year by some
mutual friends. She turned out to be an amazing writer and piano
player whom I truly respect. Then to my surprise she backs her
stuff up because she can sing too!

The Imperial Crowns had just released their
first studio album. The producers of this

our songs for the soundtrack. I remember
how excited we were!

Raymond is a world-class artist… I mean

artwork than his records. This music is
out there… I mean really. Out there.

Our
second studio album completed in December of 2003. This recording
was one of the most time consuming efforts for all of us-but worth

This cat comes into my studio completely
fearless to record his first record. I was
amazed at how trusting he was of those
around him he knew only a short time.
Incredibly crafted arrangements and songs.

This was our debut record. I think we were
all proud of this one! This is one Psycho-

This
Christian/country/soul/rock duo of Pam and Walter Ryba is a true
testimony of God's love. Together they live their music, written

Vertigo Road
This record was their very first! It always warms my heart when
I hear these songs. When deciding to give this record the best for
these songs… we asked the likes of some really accomplished
musicians to join us… Listen to what they did!

One in Him
Cruisin' For Christ
Their second studio album recorded just in
time for a midwest country tour. I remember
the pressure. Walter's voice is one of those
instruments my colleagues and I always find
amazing.

This
is their second studio album and I must say, pure class. These girls
spared no expense: incredible production, incredible songs, and
incredible art design. There’s a hidden track, can you find
it?

Lisa
Tracy
Emmaus
One
afternoon I was introduced to a
young pretty woman. She was quiet,
unassuming, humble, soft spoken and
gentle in her way. However, I was stunned listening to her sing
her band through these
arrangements with such perfect intonation.

Carla
Olson
The Ring of Truth
Carla
again comes out with these great
songs which we cut analog at 30ips to get
the fat tone. I remember flipping over
these incredible guitar tones coming out
of Mick Taylor and Brian Brown & Carla.

Steve
Uricchio
Two Candles and a Broken String
Steve
and I go back 18 years. Steve came
down from Bakersfield to produce this next
CD. A broken heart and an acoustic guitar
started the fire for this Bob Dylan influenced lyricist.

Vertigo Road
Pieces
I thought this was smart of them to put out
5 songs to give us, shall we say "a taste" of
what's to follow. There's a track here not to be
missed called "Shine" it says a lot. Good work
from them on this one...!

Terri
DiMarco
Utopia
This is Terri’s second full album, which we have
currently completed the recording. She decided
to give an early release of a few of these

which speak closer to her heart about those
things that realy matter.

Special: The Best of Carla Olson
Carla decided to re-release some older
tracks and with that, cut a few new ones.
Brian and I remember being excited,
because we knew a Scandinavia tour

Pacific Ocean
Terri's debut CD is an eclectic compilation, showcasing her
tasteful expression of guitar
work. Pacific Ocean hints acoustic rock, with
each track leaning toward a different genre.
Most speak of her songwriting!

Devon
Caged Bird
Devon's
music combines the passionate
vocals of Paula Cole with the intelligence
of Ani DiFranco, and A Perfect Circle.
Middle Eastern-influenced melodies, tribal
percussion, and distorted guitars create a
sound that is just as at home on the Warped
Tour as on Lilith Fair.

Rick Solem
Just Lucky I Guess
With this CD, Rick stepped out on his own
for the first time. This New Orleans, Ray
Charles, Professor Longhair, influenced
piano player will boogie you to the ground! |

Carla brought Billy to sweden in 95' to
promote her latest record at the time

introduced Michael Rikfors. Later the

Keith is a real vocalist. This is what he
does – he sings. Bob Esty is a great
producer. Watching these two work
was hysterical. He really is an acrobat
with his voice.

The

Ridin' High
Recorded on my ½” 8 track at 15ips, it
sounds amazing considering how it was
recorded. I can remember how much detail
Victor and I spent on getting sounds. This
LA rock band is great!

The
Mudflaps
The Mudflaps
The shimmering acoustic guitars and
flawless vocal harmonies stand alone in
front of a backdrop of fine songcraft. First
introduced to Cloverland Studios in 1991,
they traveled all the way from Solana Beach
to record The Mudflaps.

Van Horne and the Alumni Association
Platinum Swing
I
remember 16 old men walking into my
studio, & one young cat playing a standup
bass. Randy stood in the middle, swinging
his arms out like a banshee. They barely
spoke, but man they could play. |

KK's a true poet, a real actor, a man's
