Chuck has composed for many music production companies such as Killer Tracks, Mega Trax, Extreme Music and others and his music can also be heard in many commercials, promos for Showtime, television movies, and documentaries.

During the interview we spoke about playing sessions in New York City, getting the gig with Rod, writing production and game music, cutting basics with a band, Eurorack synthesis, and much more.

I spoke with Chuck via zoom from his studio in Los Angeles.

On the intro I’ll take a look at Spotify’s reported new tier, and some of the overlooked aspects of mastering.
