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."

TV documentary series -
A Few Good Men and Women - "I was
really impressed with the music -- over and over again Pat (post
production) and I would mention to each other how much we liked one
cue or another, and how well the music was working. So
congratulations on such fine work, and thank you very much for your
huge contribution to A Few Good Men & Women."

Soundtrack for Live Theatre
/ Film
- 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!"

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."

Song writing - "Working with Carey is always a great
experience. He has a wonderful ability to interpret the essence of
what sound or feel I am looking for in a song/project and make it
tangible".

Song writing - "Carey
recognizes the essence of an original song, hones in to its musical
style, adapts to the way the author intends the song to be, and
fleshes it out into a fully developed piece, without losing the
integrity of the song. He captures the mood, the art, and the
feeling that the song is meant to convey, and uses his experience,
insights and artistry to complement the piece. Carey is a valued
co-writer, who has given me the opportunity to share my songs with
the public, by producing professional quality recordings that I am
proud to present for radio airplay."

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."
