Testimonials

Movie sound track - Screaming Fish 2003 AMPIA nominee for Best Original Musical Score for a dramatic Production - ScreamingFISH was scored by Carey Parder and Chantal Vitalis. "I was extremely pleased with the quality of the sound and, even better, with the dynamic, creative score that helped give ScreamingFISH its truly unique flavor. It was necessary that the music match each character's story and personality and I was truly happy with the results. The product was delivered on time, sounded great, and I would not hesitate to recommend Hummingbird Studios or Carey Parder as a composer."

TV documentary series - Water Under Fire - "Carey came up with a powerful opening theme for the series which really gave us the dramatic punch we were looking for. And the integration of different instrumentation gave each episode some individuality. His ability to create a variety of emotions through his compositions really strengthened our visuals, and gave our message more resonance."

Soundtrack for Live Theatre - Indian Blue - "Once again thanks to you and Chantal for the beautiful music. It is such a joy to dance to and it instantly creates the "world" of the dance piece because it is so evocative and powerful. People say Indian Blue is "profound" and the soundtrack definitely sets the stage for such deep expression. I heard an elder say that "our bodies are appeased by ritual" and the instant I hear that music, I can enter the trancy worlds of Indian Blue. Its awesome!"

Broadcast Audio compilation - "Thank you very much for your input and creative talent creating our marketing CD for ANTASKARANA and Grainfields Australia. I was very impressed with the editing of the radio interviews, the edit breaks were seamless. When I let Susan (the radio personality) hear the CD she thought that she had done it just the way it sounded, rather than piecing together several radio shows.  I look forward to creating more materials with you in the near future."
