"Recording the score for Uncharted 2 with the musicians of San Francisco Local 6
was an exciting and wonderful experience. Not only are they superb players, but they were
enthusiastic, fast and did it all with a sense of humor. In a high pressure environment, all
of those factors come into play, and boy did they deliver. Uncharted 2 sounds gorgeous
because of their spectacular musicianship and I can't wait to work with them again!"
Greg Edmonson, Composer (Uncharted, Firefly, King of the Hill)
"I've had the opportunity to record up at Skywalker on five occasions and have been thoroughly impressed
on each with the quality of the San Francisco Bay Area musicians. Their professional attitude, accommodating spirit,
and extraordinary musicianship have consistently brought life
to my scores to make them stand out. I look forward to future work experiences with the Bay musicians."
Marco Beltrami, Composer (Hellboy, Terminator 3, Scream, Blade 2)
"Recording up at Skywalker Ranch is wonderful whenever I've had the opportunity to work there. The orchestras are always top notch.
I've been known to write challenging parts for the orchestra and without question, I've always been delighted with the musicianship
and attitude of the players. Jan and her associates have always delivered the finest players I could imagine and I look forward to
working with her again when the opportunity arises. Truly, this is a world-class working environment and I recommend the experience to anyone."
John Debney, Composer and Conductor (Passion of the Christ, Spy Kids, The Princess Diaries, Elf)
"A great trip to San Francisco to record the score to Burr Steer's SEVENTEEN. The adventure with the Team was great fun, and the orchestra sounded
fantastic. We stayed in SF, and commuted up to the Skywalker stage in Marin County- beautiful country, and a world class studio. The music called
for a full orchestra, and the players delivered such magnificent and dynamic sounds, it really was a wonderful experience."
Rolfe Kent, Composer (Wedding Crashers, Sideways, Legally Blonde, Mean Girls)
"The excellence and artistry of musicians in the AFM has lifted interactive audio to new heights."
Paul Lipson. President Game Audio Network Guild
"I love recording with live players and have always chosen to work with the amazing musicians of the AFM who have elevated my music beyond any other single element I can think of."
Gary Schyman, Composer (Bioshock, Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers, Destroy All Humans Series)
"I have been to hundreds of scoring sessions watching AFM players nail it for major feature films and some of the biggest directors and A List composers in the film industry. I have been to several sessions watching these same musicians put forth the same energy and talent to score games. My first choice is always AFM players."
Bob Rice, CEO FBI four bars intertainment
"Electronic Arts will always do whatever we can to support, respect and record with AFM affiliated musicians who we find to be the most talented group of performers in the world. We are thrilled that we can support these wonderful musicians with benefits and superior rates."
Steven Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Marketing Electronic Arts
