Liquid Mind is
the name used by Los Angeles composer and producer Chuck
Wild. There are few composers with as much love for slowness
in their music as Wild. Chuck draws from classical and pop
influences as varying as Beethoven and Brian Eno, Bartok and
Rachmaninoff, Bach, Chopin and Fauré, Duruflé and Brahms.
Early live and
studio experience with the Capitol Records’ group “Missing
Persons”, and studio work with Frank Zappa, Michael Jackson
and many others have helped Chuck to develop high production
values. Spending many studio hours over the years with five
time Grammy winning engineer Bruce Swedien and famed
producer Ken Scott has inspired Chuck to explore unique and
subtle gradations of sound and feeling in his music.
Chuck's musical
experience spans three decades, including writing 125 songs
and compositions used in TV/Film and albums. The Pointer
Sisters, Tommy Page, Timothy Leary, Wink, Jennifer Rush,
Thelma Houston, Glen Medeiros and Philip Bailey are just
some of the artists who have recorded his songs. Wild
co-composed music with Michael Hoenig for the Emmy (TM)
winning ABC-TV series Max Headroom. In 1992, his first
composition for two pianos, Los Angeles Fantasy, was
premiered by Zita Carno and Gloria Ching at the Bing Theater
in Los Angeles. The same year, Wild co-scored the Academy
Award (TM) winning film The Panama Deception. In 1989, he
co-wrote (with Marti Sharron) the song "You're My One and
Only," #1 hit in Europe for Jennifer Rush. Over the last
twenty years, Chuck has lent his studio talents to projects
with Michael Jackson, Paula Abdul, Missing Persons, Philip
Bailey, Frank Zappa, and many other artists. |
