Music for Film, TV & Games

Barry Cleveland’s compositions for picture have been featured on Teen Titans Go, Extra, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Erin Burnett OutFront, Crime Watch Daily, Dr. Drew’s Lifechangers, CNN International Europe, CNN International Asia, and various TMZ programs.

Cleveland’s music relies as much on sound color and unusual sonics as it does on traditional melody, harmony, and rhythm—though rhythm is critical, frequently being provided by live percussion instruments. And while synths and samplers play a role in Cleveland’s music, his primary instrument is the electric guitar, albeit often richly processed and sometimes played unconventionally, such as with a violin bow. Bowed cymbals, singing bowls, zither, and other uncommon sound sources, treated in highly creative ways, are also part of his sonic palette. This approach results in music that is surprising, familiar, exotic, intimate, and dramatic in turns.
