Neil Larson’s Summary
I'm Neil, but am also known as Nigel. Someone told me it had to do with a moon sign in Gemini? Regardless, I produce multiple forms of media, with specialties in audio.
I founded Nigel Media LLC in 2005 to work not only as a parent company for Dr Nigel Audio, but also a separate entity dedicated to the creation of integrated media productions, including website development, flash presentations, video editing, boom mic operation, graphic illustrations, logo design, layout, print production, and much more.
MUSIC:: I've been working with music in some form or capacity since 1986. In the 2000s I began my career as an audio producer. I currently work among a variety of audio platforms to produce sound and music for clients who represent a wide array of industries.
Under the Dr Nigel moniker, I compose original music for self, scene, and spot; remix music for bands, artists, and DJs; provide post-production and mastering services; and work with a large cast of skilled, experienced voiceover artists.
I have direct experience composing music for corporate clients (incl: Invista, Lycra, Xerox); Fortune 50s (Microsoft, Dell, Adobe, AT&T), TV networks (MTV, Nickelodeon); web startups, filmmakers, non-profit companies (CIEE, PAX, George Eastman House), and reputable DJs and producers (Disco Biscuits, Ror-Shak, Club d'Elf).
I occasionally perform on keyboards - with live electronic dance entity Psylab, as well as occasional guest with live drum'n'bass phenomenon BioDiesel. Shows frequent the Northeast & occasionally visit the left coast & beyond.
WEB, FLASH, GRAPHICS, VIDEO::
Nigel Media is currently involved in editing, mixing and mastering hi-quality audio for a full-length motion picture; developing an educational video presentation to a study abroad agency; and designing a website for an hi-tech company.
Proficiencies in CSS, XHTML, jQuery, JavaScript and Flash.
