music

Hullabaloo's music composition is headed up by composers Glenn Heaton and Geoff McGarvey

Music is our passion.  It doesn't really matter what kind of music it is either.  Every piece of music has something.

We have composed for all mediums.  Television, commercials, corporate songs, feature songs for television, stage shows and  relaxation music.  We also write for ourselves, which is a good way to keep ideas flowing.

We've written in many styles from classical to grunge to middle eastern, and its all great fun.

During recording, we are privileged to work with some great session musicians, who not only play well, but always have good jokes.

Most of our work is based around computer sequencing.  This allows us to create a music track using samples and synthesis.  We then play certain live instruments and/or hire session players to add a reality to the music.  We know some great vocalists who are recorded on site.  All our music is mixed in our studio and sent to mastering when necessary.

Below are some samples of our television music.  You'll need a Windows Media Player.  (Go here to listen to Active Kidz)

The process:

Getting original music can be a difficult process if you're not musically trained.  But we're here to help.

All we need to start is a short meeting to discuss your needs.  From that we use key words and we'll come up with a musical demo for you.

From there you decide if we're on the right track, we make alterations if necessary and then move on to produce the final music track.

It can be a quick process if you need it to be, taking only a few days.

You can order a DVD of our showreel.  Just email geoff@hullabaloo.com.au with your details, and we'll send it straight away.
