I’ve started working with BWN in LA as a freelance sound designer and composer.
Check out their site, they’ve got a great reel and a really talented group of in-house composers. I’ve already learned a lot about delivering great sounding queues on a deadline.
So far I’ve been close mic’ing cymbals, brushing up on my Logic 8 skills, and getting used to the Native Instruments Komplete collection – Battery, where have you been all my life.
How did composers pound out 30 sound-a-like queues before Logic?
In December, I bought a looper. The idea was to lay down a couple of foundation guitar parts, rhythm heavy things I could sing over or that would free me up to do something other than guitar. As things progressed the Fela-style afrobeat jams were by far the most interesting and fun to play.
Once upon a time, Arlo worked at a bookstore. While Arlo wasn’t hard at work in the bookstore or hard at work going to USC, he was in a rehearsal space making up songs with his friends.
