Twenty years ago today, I quit my full time job as the Vice President of a music supervision, licensing and rights clearance company to tour internationally with L*z Zeppelin, playing bass, keyboards and mandolin. While touring with the band, I continued to work on my own doing music supervision, licensing and rights clearance under my DBA Hidden Pond Productions. After leaving L*z Zeppelin in early 2009, I got back to focusing on writing and performing my own original music and also began offering custom scoring and music production to my clients at Hidden Pond Productions. In 2011, I incorporated the company and it’s still going strong. I’m so grateful that I continue to have a career that keeps me working in both the creative and business sides of the industry.

Magnetosphere Movie, a lovely film we had the honor of music supervising and contributing recording and music production services for, hits streaming platforms on July 22, 2025. Check out the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5OhmL3a4tM&t=3s

💫 The wait is over. MAGNETOSPHERE premieres July 22. 💫

It’s 1997, and the Hale-Bopp comet blazes overhead. Magnetosphere follows Maggie Campion — a kid who can see sounds and hear colours — as she discovers that what makes her different has a name: synesthesia. Along the way, she finds love, friendship, and unexpected mentors who help her embrace her unique view of the world.

Mark your calendars, grab your popcorn, and get ready to see the world through Maggie’s eyes. 🎬🌈👀
