How to Make Your Film or CD Project Feel
Much Richer
And Have a Trouble-Free Experience, Too.

You Get The Ideal Sound, a Perfect Complement to Your Vision, On Time and Within Budget, All the While Enjoying a Calm, Zero-Stress Experience.

A “Set and Forget” solution! Imagine … no more missed deadlines, cheesy sounds, or music-production nightmares. No more handholding, putting up with a fussy musician’s personality, or budget-killing surprises. Imagine complete communication. Feel your stress level evaporate as you realize you are in skilled, experienced, and sensitive hands.

Let me spoil you with:

· Subtle Sophistication that will give your project staying power so it doesn't sound dated in five years;

· A much bigger, fuller sound than your budget allowed (e.g. you paid for a 40-piece orchestra, you got the sound of 80 pieces) which will help you be perceived as even more of an industry leader;

· Music master delivered by the agreed deadline – every time, GUARANTEED! (Or my work is free … I’ve never had to donate my time to fulfill this guarantee);

· A full, great-sounding mockup of every piece of music (no more unpleasant surprises on the day of the recording session -- you'll already know exactly what you're getting);

· Over $10,000 in sound libraries, and cutting-edge performance skill, for electronic mockups or performances that challenge the borders between real and simulated music;

· Easy communication – you’ll know you were heard and understood;

· A Peaceful Music Production Process – you won’t find yourself in a shouting match with your composer-producer over a guitar note choice;

· Themes that people can't help but hum!

CALL ME! (801-636-2333) Talk to me. Let’s get to know each other. Let’s talk about the needs of your project. Listen to and watch some of my work. Try me on your next project, and see if your experience really is as good as I’ve described.

It will be….

That’s a promise.

MUSIC DEMOS

Please pardon the dust as this site comes to be. In the near future it will be slicker, but for now, at least most of the music is available to hear (inactive links, below, are coming very soon). And that's the main point of a composer's website, isn't it? To access the demo/example files, please choose a cue number*, below (and please be patient with download times--these are high-quality MP3 files--high-speed connection recommended):

ORCHESTRAL MUSIC:

FILMMAGIC: This is the general demo of Arlen L. Card's film music. At thirty minutes long, it cannot be comprehensive, but should suffice as a beginning in showing the styles and genres in which Mr. Card has composed and produced music. This includes a whole gamut of material, from lush, large orchestra to rowdy pop, rock, r&b, and jazz styles. (Please note that all the saxophone work, and much of the recorder and ocarina work, was performed by Mr. Card.)

ELECTRONIC MUSIC:

ART & Artifice: Ah, but electronic music has come a long way! This (almost) all-electronic compilation shows what electronic simulation of orchestra can sound like in the hands of a master sequencer. Only cues 1, 3, and 16 have any live instruments on them, and those include only brass and violin reinforcement (live mixed with simulated), and the violins the two mixing engineers favored in the mix were the simulated ones -- go figure! So as you listen, close your eyes and pretend you don't know this was simulated. The filmmakers with limited budgets have been thrilled to sound so big for so little.

ALBUM/CD PRODUCTION:

Artists and songwriters, please contact Mr. Card for a consultation and examples. In the meantime, please enjoy the various contemporary film cues as examples of the breadth of scope that Mr. Card offers as producer and arranger.

Finally, here is Mr. Card's most current vita. (Understated, of course.)

Filmmakers and Recording Artists: to contact Mr. Card for a collaboration, please email him here, or call him at 801.636.2333. Please indicate when and how I can contact you if I am unavailable when you call, or if you email.
