At the end of 2025 we decided to do a full blown test recording session at Hollywood Scoring to make full use of our entire facility and try out recording different ensembles in isolation in both of our live rooms at the same time (aka "live striping"). We thought that Michael Barry's most recent transcription of the original score for Tom and Jerry's "Pet Peeve", a cartoon from 1954 by Scott Bradley, which was previously lost to time. Mike transcribed the whole score by ear and reconstructed it from scratch, so we thought it would be fitting to see how close we could get to the original recording and possibly improve it. At the same time, what an opportunity to showcase the incredible musical talent of Los Angeles! The most complicated cartoon score we could possibly find was fully recorded in just 2 hours, tracked tutti but isolated! With some extra time in the session, Edouard Brenneisen composed a totally different modern soundscape using the same ensemble as another test. All hands on deck, Adam Michalak recorded and mixed all in-house with edit support from Keith Ukrisna and I had the special job of handpicking and contracting all of these incredible players, each for their artistry they bring to this virtuosic style of performance. We're thrilled with the results.
We hope you enjoy this short presentation, thank you for your attention in this matter! Noah and the HWS team!
