::DAVID RICE PRESS::

(Austin American Statesman)

“I have worked with David many times and I ALWAYS use him when I need something great and fast. In an industry of readily available good music composers, I must say he's amazing and always my "go to". I couldn't say enough good things about him as a composer, but as a person he's even better. I look forward to every opportunity to work with him.” - Lindsay Stillman, Producer/GSD&M

“David and JSM did a great job providing music for some really complicated spots we did with really short turn around times. It was the kind of project where we needed them to get the music right the first time through, because we didn't have a lot of time, and they totally came through with great results. And, David was great and easy to work with which is always a bonus.” - Wes Whitener, Art Director/GSD&M

“We briefed David on a song we needed for a TV spot. Later that afternoon he mailed us two tracks. They were both perfect, so we picked the one that was perfect-er. He taught the talent how to play it, and man was that an easy shoot. Look forward to working with him again soon.” - Mitch Bennett, Writer/GSD&M

"I've worked with David on a number of projects now, and in every case his involvement in the creation process has been a major asset to the creative process. David is able to create pieces that are truly moving in their ability to add power to what is being depicted through images and is tireless in adjusting and reforming these compositions to fit precisely with the original vision. Of equal value is David's ability as a music supervisor, a role in which he employs an abundance of musical knowledge and connections to provide a wide range of sounds. Most recently, David pulled in a jazz quartet to create the music for a documentary piece shot in New Orleans and slated to be shown at the Clinton Global Initiative Conference in New York this September. As the editor of the piece, I was able to attend the recording session and watch as David guided four talented musicians through the creation of three or four very different pieces of music, covering the entire emotional range of the doc. Once again, he created a score that is augmenting the piece more than I thought music could." - Matt Naylor, Editor/501 Post

“I worked with David on a recent BMW TV spot. They composed an original piece for us. They were able to turn something around overnight - literally. The end product was exactly what we were looking for. It was a great experience. - Amy Hurt, Producer/GSD&M

“David is a real solutions guy - great under pressure and always delivers.” - Jeff Johnson, Executive Producer/GSD&M
