SHINDIG Music + Sound, approaching its two-year anniversary, has brought aboard staff composer Austin Shupe, a former colleague from HUM. Along with its in-house composers, the Playa del Rey-based SHINDIG taps into a large pool of freelance talent to find the right match for each project.
Additionally, SHINDIG’s mixing capabilities have been amped up with a newly constructed 5.1 audio mix room and vocal booth that enable sound designer/mixer Daniel Hart to accommodate VO sessions and execute final mixes for clients in stereo and/or 5.1.
SHINDIG’s exec team includes creative director Scott Glenn, EP Debbi Landon, head of production Caroline O’Sullivan, and Hart.
