Loud
and Clear Music is a production company that specializes in commercial and soundtrack
music composition and recording. Whether you're an ad agency, video production
company, or filmmaker, our goal is to help you raise emotions and sell your message
through music, to reach your target audience through their ears and hearts! Loud
and Clear is the combined effort of Lloyd Maines and Matt Wiedemann to bring years
of commercial music experience, a mile-long call-list of recording artists, and
genre-bending musical skills to that purpose.
Lloyd
Maines is a Grammy-winning producer and instrumentalist who has been playing music
and working in recording studios since 1972. Besides his too-numerous-to-list
album credits (try google-ing his name!), he has produced ad music for a range
of clients including Lone Star Beer, Taco Cabana, Ozarka Water, Miller Lite, Valero
Petroleum...and the list goes on. Lloyd is a multi-instrumentalist who prides
himself in 'trying to play what the music needs, and accommodating the mood and
feel of the song.' Those are his words -- give a listen, he succeeds!
Matt
Wiedemann is a composer and keyboard player, active in the Austin music scene
many years scoring indie-films, playing and recording with bands, writing arrangements
for orchestral ensembles, and producing music for TV and commercials. His credits
include ad music for Schick Quattro, Texas Mutual Insurance, and Southwestern
Bell, as well as licensed music for MTV and Fox television shows. Matt is a student
of Hollywood-style orchestration, traditional piano, modern electronica, and musical
points in-between.
Our
most recent work includes music for United Way '07 campaign, Broadway Bank, and
Stowers Furniture. The audio and video samples on the media page cover various
national and regional spots we've composed and produced, along with several film
soundtrack cues - please give us a listen and a call!
