John Lister music for film, video, soundtracks, podcasts. trailers and more

I am a Canadian Composer and Producer of original music suitable for film, video, soundtracks, podcasts. trailers and more.

I have a long and varied background in music, ranging from teaching two instruments at the Ontario Conservatory of Music, to playing in various bands, and composing music for the Conference Board of Canada and others.

I compose and produce music based on each project. Pricing varies due to many factors, including total running time, specifics of required music and other factors.

Pease enjoy these full-length samples, and listen on some high quality audio equipment if you can and with the volume up.

My specialty is to create specific music for your visual needs, but these show some of the music I am capable of producing.

I have all manner of instrument sounds available in my studio. Whether your project calls for suspenseful sound effects, a rock band sound, full orchestration, or any other genre of music, I can create it.

I've been busy composing and producing music in a wide range of musical styles for various projects.

One of these is a symphonic rock project under the name 'Anni' which is the name of the lead vocalist. I compose most of the material and produce it. More may be found at www.annimusic.ca.

I've recently composed two custom pieces of music for an upcoming film, "CHI ANN BLAZE OF FURY". More will be announced once the film is released.

If your trailer calls for a specific mood to be set, I can certainly accomplish it and create music you'll be proud to include in your production.

I am now working with double the computer RAM and lots more hard drive storage space.

This allows everything to work more smoothly and I can stack more tracks in a piece of music without worrying about whether or not the computer can handle it.

This lets me focus on creating music.

I now have a wider variety of backup voices at my disposal. Everything from full male and female choirs, to single voices, and even some ethnic voices from different parts of the world.

These are sampled tones, where I play the vocal passages on the keyboard, as opposed to simply using sampled choir performances. Some of these voices can even sing words, thanks to the technology that exists today.

I get asked whether our symphonic sounds are 'synthesized'. No, they are actual performed notes, recorded in the best studios (such as Abbey Road One in London) and using the best classical musicians.

I have full orchestral sounds from the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Miroslav Philharmonik, and many more at my disposal, and I regular add more when it's advantageous to do so.
