CHRIS NEWLIN

I’ve already gushed about playing a small role in the score of this amazing franchise. Go check this out, wherever you listen to music 🎶 🍄🧟‍♂️ Thank you again @daviddavedavis for bringing me on to do some synth design for your incredible score 🙏🏻 Shoutout to @aldoarechar and @forestchristenson for their epic contributions 👍🏻 https://www.instagram.com/p/CpLDqCDJK0r/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@rachelamcdowell and I had a wonderful evening last night getting to witness @atliorvarsson @iamjonsi @sinfanggg and the @innimusic collective perform some beautiful music…accompanied by @fischersund incense and perfumes 🇮🇸🌿✨🎶 (at Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co3VR7zvhes/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sometime last year, Claudio hit me up and wanted to come by the studio to run the piano he recorded for this track through some of my gear. I was honored to indulge OF COURSE…and after 4+ hours and numerous prints through several pedals, Re-amping through @mattoverse #echoamp, retracking to a #marantzpmd430, listening through rough mixes of his full EP, and pondering the meaning of life…we landed on several sounds he was happy with. I think he used most/all of them in the mix?? 😎 I can’t wait for the world to hear the complete EP, but for now…please enjoy another single from my very talented friend @claudioolachea (and his incredibly talented friends and collaborators). #reamp #reamping #notpedalbored #pedal #tape #analogtape #cassette #effectspedals #lofi —————————————- #repost from @claudioolachea: Short Ride on a Cloud Machine is now out! Link in Bio! More of a journey than a traditional song, this is what I imagine it might feel like to take a ride through the clouds. This “song” from its inception was incredibly difficult for me to complete. When I first stumbled upon the piano ostinato, I was immediately addicted to playing it whenever I sat down at the piano, yet I was never quite able to wrangle the idea in it’s entirety. In fact, it wasn’t until my friend and the extremely talented @jennahbell , who also lent her beautiful voice to the track, suggested to delete half of what I had that it seemed to land at its final destination. It’s hard for me to share my work, especially when I’m in it, but being vulnerable usually gets me to where I need to be, and this was no different. Hope you enjoy the journey. Oh and I am singing at the top of the track. Gonna go hide under a rock now. ❤️ @jennahbell - vocal @nicholastsemrad - keys of all kind @hailey_niswanger - clarinets @antoinekatzbass - bass @joeylefitz - drums @michaeljthomasiii - additional synths and 808s @jwinks1028 and @stevedinnerman - “unbelievable” Jersey magic. @chrisnewlin - hours of piano mangling and pedal exploration. Engineered by @witt.witt.witt and @hopebrush Mixed by @chimneyisme https://www.instagram.com/p/CooXH33OGD_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m beyond honored that @daviddavedavis invited me to contribute sounds for his portion of the score for @thelastofus - as David states below, what @gustavosantaolalla created for this universe is incredibly iconic and has been a long time favorite of mine and so many others. To play a small role in this adaptation is humbling to say the least. #synthdesign What I’ve heard of David’s score is phenomenal and in my opinion, perfectly counter balances Gustavo’s emotional and memorable score with dark and brooding intensity. I can’t wait to see/hear it all come together on @hbomax this Sunday 1/15 🤯🤯🤯 Shoutouts to @aldoarechar and @forestchristenson 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 #gearnotes in the comments 🎹🔈🎶 ——————————————————— #repost @daviddavedavis Thrilled to finally be able to say that I worked on this incredible show, including several episodes as a co-composer.  The score that @gustavosantaolalla created for the games and now for this series is iconic, and I’m honored to have had the opportunity to supplement his music with my own.  Thank you to @clmazin @druckmann and @hbo for inviting me to be a part of this story that is special to so many people.  Huge thank you to my truly unbelievable team, @forestchristenson @aldoarechar and @chrisnewlin.  Premieres January 15 🥳 🎂 #tlou #thelastofus #gustavosantaolalla https://www.instagram.com/p/CnV8ezOuXnt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@daviddavedavis absolutely killed it with this score…working with him in various capacities the past 10+ years has been a pleasure. To be asked to contribute some sonic material, along with an amazing and talented group of musicians was beyond awesome. Thanks for letting me bang on things and create some nasty synth pulses and drones for you @daviddavedavis !!! Looking forward to the next🤘🏻 Shout out to @aldoarechar for killer mixes. This score slaps and soars in all the right places 🔥🔥🔥 Special thanks to @dannycocke for the drum kit, misc perc and Lyra-8 loaners! 🎹🥁 Swipe for pics of some of the gear used ➡️➡️➡️➡️ #filmscore #soundtrack #synthdesign #synthprogramming #somasynths #lyra8 #folkteknanogarden #ludwigdrums #questlove #percussion #personalheadmassager #skulls https://www.instagram.com/p/CjszBAwu5_E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This spot has taken many forms since we first started on it during the holidays in 2019, then later delayed by Covid. As always, it was a pleasure working with @matt.bieler on a client cut then and this director’s cut now…I’m super proud of both versions, but this one felt special 🤘🏻 Link in Bio… Soundcloud Link to audio to follow… ————————————- Posted @withregram • @matt.bieler Coca Cola - China Olympics “uplift” DC w/ the fam @ McCann Link in bio Much luv to cabin edit and everyone that helped get it to the finish line @bjorn_charpentier @adamlimsg @nora_manjit @chrisnewlin @isaacschen @meeeshmeeesh @colorbysanti @david.4.1.1 @twizlinz @dbkremer @johnsparyassociates @nicolas_w_small @cabinedit (at Tokyo Olympic Games 2021) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSFiyIzhT_h/?utm_medium=tumblr

The glow of the @quiettheory #prelude caught my eye as I was locking up the studio tonight 🖤 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLnpz8wBZry/?igshid=1nfbw6h8w87k3

Stumbled onto this fun little guitar “patch” this weekend using the @boredbrainmusic #patchulator8000 with the @pladaskelektrisk #fabrikat | @vongonelectronics #paragraphs | and @quiettheory #prelude into the @strymon #iridium ... also - please don’t judge me for the behringer compressor (it was a Xmas gift). And besides...we all know that’s where the REAL tone comes from! 😎 . . . . #guitarnotguitar #pedals #notpedalbored #gearybusey #pladaskelektrisk #vongon #vongonparagraphs #vongonelectronics #quiettheory #reverb #delay #boredbrain #boredbrainmusic #strymon #prs #paulreedsmith #guitarpatch https://www.instagram.com/p/CLmmo9IhXJ5/?igshid=1225a223s91uw
