Audio sounds good to local companies

     Located 10 miles from Philadelphia in Marlton, New Jersey, partners George Martindell and Frank Sonsini at Science Friction Scoring/Sound Design score films, animations, TV docs and are now eyeing the video game market.
     The duo records digitally by multi-tracking with a Roland 16-track console; their instrumental roster includes Sonsini's Roland Guitar synthesizer and Nord and Korg keyboards.  Martindell provides percussion and uses myriad electronic drum sets, mainly from Roland and Alesis, and acoustic drums.
     "We're working with animator Robert Feldman on his cartoon series, Dr. Shroud,  which was released on DVD and is now being shopped by some animation networks," Martindell reports.
     Science Friction also scores the E! TV show Taradise, starring Tara Reid, and is wrapping a score for an Indie horror film show in HD in Memphis.  The duo has also worked on horror films shot in Texas, Vancouver and Toronto; other business has come from New York City.
