“Demos are great!”

David Perry – game developer / entrepreneur

“Just listened to the new cues. Brilliant, man brilliant.  (Stealing Time) Can’t wait for more. Its the highlight of my day.” “Perfect Richard.. It sounds amazing! It sounds great. Wow! Love it!” (upon completion) “Well done! It is really (a) job well done. I am very proud of you… you are very talented.. and the music is awesome.”

Anton Ernst – producer

“Outstanding! (Stealing Time) Haunting images, haunting music! Keep composing! You’re really good!”

Darrell Roodt – Oscar-nominated director

“It wasn’t until two composers later that the universe blessed me with the talent of Richard Altenbach who completely nailed my score (Paint Me in the Opera House). As a student filmmaker, I was extremely grateful to have such a professional take such care and attention to my vision, the soul of the film, and the small details and motifs created with sound that essentially can make or break a movie. Richard pays attention to every detail, his sounds are full of expression, and he is both timely and a super nice guy. I can’t imagine having anyone else score my films from here on out. Thank you thank you thank you.  (Just got back from a film festival in LA and won best directing and best of fest. It was my first time hearing your score in a theater and just wow ! I really cannot thank you enough !!! Looking forward to working together again soon!!)”

Leaf Lieber – filmmaker

“Ok, that’s just downright beautiful (Stefan’s Song). Especially the last part really took my breath away….man that’s one EPIC minute…THAT minute, Richard, is awe-some…this is the perfect way to end it (ending of an epic scene).”

Stefan Strandberg – game audio director

“Hi Richard,
My one-on-one time with you has been helpful in so many ways. Your musical suggestions and Sibelius tutoring has been great. Just wanted to tell you again how much I appreciate your help, expertise and encouragement on my project.”

“Your cue (The Mustang Rides Free) … Gorgeous!”

Richard Bellis – TV & film composer, ex-President ASCAP

 

“Wonderful stuff, Richard.  Terrific work!!  (the Killing of Mary Surratt) Oooooh. Really nice.  It’s getting closer to the “giving me chills” stage, which is always a great thing…ending is exquisite! … Yes, yes, yes, that is perfect, Richard! These versions are just terrific …You rock!”

Chris King – filmmaker

 

“I cannot thank you enough.  The music is beautiful & creepy & del Toro-ish & Burton-ish  (Unbroken).  You have exceeded my expectations… I thank you from the bottom of my heart-only a super-talented pro like you could have put this together so quickly!  As usual, Richard, you give me goose-bumps…”

Christina Marie – director
