\"\"<\/a>Congratulations to Shawn Clement whose score for Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey <\/em>has been nominated for “Best Score” at the 2012 eWorld Music Awards<\/a> held at Paramount Picture Studios. The score was written and produced in SONAR X1 and then recorded with the San Francisco Philharmonic Orchestra at George Lucas’ legendary Skywalker Ranch.<\/p>\n

The 2012 eWorld Music Awards is a revolutionary music awards show that celebrates cutting edge artists on the world’s biggest platform – the Internet. The awards were created to promote and support the amazing work, technology and diversity in today\u2019s vibrant independent music world. \u00a0It\u2019s the only event of its kind celebrating truly independent music.\u00a0 The eWorld Music Awards honor those groundbreaking forces who\u2019ve been influencing this movement, and iconic individuals for their unique contributions to the art of music.\u00a0 This year\u2019s\u00a02012 eWorld Music Awards\u00a0will be the 4th annual awards show, and will air live from Paramount Studios in Hollywood on Saturday, June 16th 2012.\u00a0 Live music performances and celebrity appearances will highlight this star-studded Red Carpet event.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>CW AR:\u00a0 How did you get yourself in the space to create music for this show and what was the technical process for pulling it all together?<\/em><\/p>\n

SC:\u00a0With any project, you first have to understand the film.\u00a0 Meaning, really know the story, characters and what role the score is going to play. Every production has its specific needs. Say for instance when I created the Wounded Warrior\u2019s Hymn, this was a live performance, so what I needed to do was realize a \u201cmock-up\u201d version of the music so that others could hear where I was going with it.\u00a0 For example, I would send my \u201cdemo\u201d off to Jon Anderson so that he could put together what he was singing on it.\u00a0 Keep in mind that the \u201cdemo\u201d needed to sound as much like the real thing as possible so that anyone involved could really believe in it.\u00a0 Beyond that, all the tracks in SONAR would then get broken down and sent out to my orchestrator so that it could finally be realized in written music form for the orchestra to play. We had 106 players with a 247 piece choir, and Jon Anderson singing on 2 of the movements.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>From TV to Film to Video Games, Clement has used SONAR to work in a wide variety of genres and styles and has built a vast resume of over 200 credits. He began his professional career helping to originate and develop the musical foundation for the voyeuristic world of reality TV, but years before the phenomena saturated the air waves. By stamping his musical presence on shows like Most Amazing Videos<\/em> and World\u2019s Wildest Police Videos<\/em>, he began paving the way for other composers to follow suit.<\/p>\n

In the new-age of reality, his music which is always created in SONAR (now SONAR X1) has been featured on American Idol<\/em> and So You Think You Can Dance<\/em> as well as other major television shows. One previous noteworthy score that will forever be engraved in television history was the highly-acclaimed cult series classic Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em>, in which he also supplied original songs as well as the score.\u00a0 His songs in that series were fan-favorites and helped expand the fan base for the show. \u00a0Other credits include Women,<\/em> a series on Showtime, The Savage Dragon<\/em>, an animated series for Universal, A Rock and a Hard Place<\/em> (Showtime) and One Way Out <\/em>(Arrow Entertainment.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In addition to music for major television shows, Clement is always busy using SONAR to score music for Films as well; some including:<\/p>\n

– We Married Margo:<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong> (released by New Line\u00a0 and winner of the Audience Favorite Award at the HBO\/U.S. Comedy & Arts Festal.) \u00a0Cast included Kevin Bacon, Cindy Crawford an Tom Arnold,<\/p>\n

– Last Chance:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong> (winner of Best Original Drama at World Fest.)<\/p>\n

– Bad Girls from Valley High: \u00a0<\/em><\/strong>released by Universal (produced by Sid and Johnathan Sheinberg) with a cast that included Julie \u00a0 \u00a0 Benz, Christopher Lloyd, Johnthan Brandis and Janet Leigh.<\/p>\n

– Finale:<\/em><\/strong> \u00a0(released by Image)<\/p>\n

– Virus X<\/em><\/strong> (released by Lions Gate)<\/p>\n

– Play On<\/strong> (Sports Drama)<\/em><\/p>\n

– Beyond the Mat<\/strong> (Sports Drama)<\/em><\/p>\n


\n<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The polls are closed now, but we wish Shawn all the best at the event and hope that he brings home another award to add to his \u201cASCAP Most Performed Underscore Award\u201d (alongside \u00a0the other prestigious awards he has collected along the route of his musical voyage.)<\/p>\n

Currently, Clement is busy using SONAR X1 working on music for the RAY BRADBURY Documentary, Live Forever: A Ray Bradbury Odyssey<\/em>.\u00a0 For more information on Shawn Clement and to hear the music he creates in SONAR X1, visit www.clemistry.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
