This spatial digital music is like experiencing a trip to other continents without cliché involved. At times the music imagery travels to the west coast of Africa, then to high mountain peaks in the Himalayas, then to Mexico. Check out the films at Todd Bieber's website and you’ll be connected to award-winning indie films that these two have contributed to. They provided music for the company’s “All is Normal” feature with Linda Blair and Tom Stechschulte and have provided music for the Lake Placid Film Festival advertising campaigns with Martin Scorcese in the shoot. They have provided music for other award-winning film shorts, including “Neck Deep,” from Flexible frame Productions (NY and PA).
“Mitchell is a multi-award winning percussionist from the west coast studio scene. While in California, Steve lived a very active life as a professional musician, which led to his winning a Grammy for best studio musician in 1976. In the studio, working with composer Ed Bogas, he produced music for twenty-five years of Charlie Brown TV specials, as well as for Garfield the Cat, Sesame Street, Nova, the PBS documentary American Experience, and thousands of commercials. He also contributed music to One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest with Jack Nicholson, Eddie Macon’s Run with Kirk Douglas, the NBC special End of the Rainbow, David Byrne’s True Stories, Walker with Joe Strummer of the Clash, appeared as a bandleader in Francis Ford Coppola’s Tucker, and composed two soundtracks for comedian Liz Scherr.
For eight years he was a featured soloist with the Joffrey Ballet, and he had a band with Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead called Too Loose to Truck. He toured with Mose Allison, Van Morrison, the Smothers Brothers, Joy of Cooking, and the Coasters, and he played or recorded with Joe Henderson, Blue Mitchell, Herb Ellis, Vince Guaraldi, Cal Tjader, Leon Russell, Albert King, Esther Phillips, Lou Rawls, Maria Muldaur, Roy Rogers, Norton Buffalo, David Grisman, Sally Kellerman, Freda Payne, Les Elgart, and Earl Van Dyke of Motown’s Funk Brothers.
Upon returning to his native state of Pennsylvania, Steve has continued to be a musician much in demand, contributing music to the Bieber and Brafa films All Is Normal and Neck Deep and playing and recording with EG Kight, Ann Rabson, and Kenny “Blue Boss” Wayne, as well as with Averie Clark, Steve Adams, Arthur Goldstein, Flora Eyster, Ann Kerstetter, Jack Fries, Sascha Feinstein (editor of Brilliant Corners), John JBand/artist history
