Lawless / Rackley Music - Publishing, Composition and Scoring
David Rackley and Terry Lawless are accomplished writers with extraordinary backgrounds in a number of music styles. Their diverse music textures have underscored radio commercials, film, television and production music.
Composers
Terry and David both reside in Santa Maria, CA, on the beautiful Central Coast. Both work full time in the music industry. Both have backgrounds as performers as well as composers. They have written for and have access to full choirs, chamber groups, orchestras, pop/rock bands, jazz groups, soloists and voiceover artists. When not developing a television commercial or designing a background score for a film, Rackley and Lawless compose for Boosey and Hawkes - a London production library, Sonic Quiver - a Florida production house, and AllStar Music - who has leased a production package exclusively to ClearChannel Communications. The two production libraries lease their music for commercial use around the globe.
Publishing: Lawless /Rackley Music
Terry and David have just opened a new publishing company, Lawless / Rackley Music. An extensive collection of original music available for preview or purchase can be found on the Publishing page. Digital download gets the music into your hands immediately. At that point it can be used for your production and projects, so long as the licensing information is included and reported.
The Studio
Working from their newly constructed recording studio, built from the ground up, specifically for their own needs. They use cutting edge computer recording and sound design capability. The studio is stocked with vintage analog instruments as well as one of the largest selections of digital and virtual instruments on the West Coast. Soundproof, isolated live recording of traditional instruments is comfortable and quickly set up. Rackley and Lawless also have a compact 32 track mobile recording system. Projects of various sizes can be done directly with the client in the studio, on remote location or via internet. Their compositions are distributed worldwide and are known for unique textures, modern harmonic content, melodic flow, contemporary edge and sonic excellence.
Years of experience creating music, traditional composition and performance backgrounds and a world class design studio form the perfect "mix" for the quality music that your next project deserves.
