It all begins with the directors vision. All composers are talented, but its the few that are willing to make 2 to unlimited revisions to a cue until the music makes the director go, YES!

Anthony Rodriguez not only comprehended the concept for my debut project, but he has elevated its foundation. This man knows exactly what he talks about starting with a strong sound using his advanced technology to extraordinary piano skills. He has made me one of his happiest clients or maybe the happiest of all.
Anthony's exceptional talent as a hybrid producer has elevated my project in remarkable ways. His meticulous attention to detail, from pre-production to post, has imbued the sound with captivating beauty. Anthony's state-of-the-art studio is equipped to handle music creation and audio post in any format. When I needed a 7.1 mix, he presented cutting-edge software to deliver the most advanced solutions. The result left our producers awestruck. I'm thrilled to now call Anthony a friend and collaborator, and eagerly await the release of our project.
What can I say about this talented individual? Working with him has been a Godsend! I brought Anthony a Christmas song I wrote that was the featured song in my feature film "Ebenezer the Traveler". I gave him my amaturish recording of the song to start with & he took it, ran with it & created a magical production. I was blown away the moment I heard the arrangement & the song is not only special but has impressed everyone who has heard it. Anthony went on to help score much of the movie and arranging other original songs for the film. I look forward to many many years working with him!
Anthony’s a great fellow to work with. He’s drive in pre and post production skills have easily saved me alot of time. His newly named studio, Walk Sound Studio: Score and Mix is his home recording studio with in-the-box production suites for composing and audio post. He sets you up for success for the final stages of production. His background in music in general has really helped shape the scores I needed without sounding like what the film composers that studied film composition sound like, which is over rated. Anthony brings fresh ideas both orchestral and sound design elements.
Anthony brings greatness to the table. I’ve worked with many different composers, and his style and ideas are of a musician that understands non-musical terms. I felt open in expressing what I wanted and needed, and Anthony without limiting me, provided different versions of my ideas. Made it so smooth and quick. Wonderful chap to work with. His film music and modern music mind really worked well. Also, sound designing sounds, out of this world. Pleased and looking forward to soon releasing my movie which will take part in a platform I can’t mention at the present moment.
Directing a feature film opposes many challanges along the way. Creating the right fitting music is one of those important elements of a director's vision that needs careful consideration of plot, motifs, general aesthetic, ambience and detail to be able to deliver the desired impact.
Working with Anthony on Rupture, from the UK overseas, has achieved just that while keeping a professional relationship throughout. Meeting my own vision and including his style into a fine piece of score that makes the motion picture unique and memorable.
Anthony is such a gifted composer, and an absolute blessing to work with. He perfectly captured the essence of our project, and delivered music that perfectly complemented and enhanced the material. He knocked it out of the park and absolutely exceeded my expectations. I would work with him again in a heartbeat, and I hope that chance comes soon!
Anthony is a talented producer, who uses state of the art equipment, and softwares to get your track sounding incredible. His studio is comfortable, and very well put together. He did an incredible job, with my last single, and I would not hesitate to work again with him. I highly recommended Anthony and The Writing Room Productions to everyone who is looking for a producer who can also put your taste, ideas, and overall style into consideration.
The Writing Room Productions, is a comfy spot to create and execute music. Sitting with Anthony at his piano is like magic. Strings sound library he has, has really pumped the sound and flavor to my songs I’ve recorded there both remotely and in-person. Great orchestrator and composer across the board. Highly recommend Anthony to any musical production. 💫💫💫💫💫
Anthony was and still is a great asset to all my projects. He allowed me to express my ideas with the goal of bringing to life. His approach allowed me to have a product that I can say that I took part of. His producing is not the typical conventional way, but a collaborative and team effort approach. I always enjoy my time with Anthony.
Working with Anthony was a pleasure! I produced and directed a short documentary and found Anthony and his work online. We discussed the project multiple times and he was awesome through out the whole process, he was able to provide an original soundtrack for the entire project.
He was able to capture every feeling and emotion I wanted to portray in every scene and really helped move the documentary along. His music is super unique and was pleased with the final product. I recommend Anthony’s work to anyone looking to take their projects to the next level! Awesome artist to work with!
Interview with Anthony Rodriguez

And just everyone from the singers to musicians. It’s been great.

A: Apart from the typical negotiation, we always talk about what happens after the music is finished. This brings up, music distribution, marketing etc.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That music is a 1-2-3 situation. It isn’t. It’s many hours of work. And today, many musicians have to write and produce the work; and many do those things plus music edit mix and master. No amount of money will ever pay the worth. But understanding that everything in music is art and it needs to be respected.

A: Well, I bring flavor and excellence. Always making sure the client hears their ideas come to life. Less me and more of them.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Hearing what the clients what. I don’t produce or work like I use to. Singers giving their melodies of their songs and leaving it up to me to figure it out. I ask for their ideas, I even ask for references being that singers at times don’t know what they want. After that, I begin producing their ideas abd make it make sense. This goes for anything in music and clients.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio set up is called “The Writing Room Productions.” I it’s a convertible set up, that can be arranged for sound design sessions, vocal sessions, orchestrating sessions, and more. No sessions are the same. I have the capability of using touch technology and also physical in my workflow. I house the Quested S-Series studio speakers 2.1 and Universal Audio as my sound card. So I can say the sound is pretty sweet. For film scoring I currently run 3 machines, one as master, picture and VST’s. There’s a lot of internal gear to write about. My only hardware in analog synth are, Moogs Subharmonicon, DFAM, Mother 32 and Sub 25; for serious sound design work, I use them. My master keyboard is Doepfer LMK 2 and 4+.

A: Musicians, there’s a lot. However, the ones that are far ahead of me, always inspired me. That does from musicians, to engineers.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Primary a pianist. So majority of work always have a piano track involved. This proceeds to instrumentation and arranging. For film-scoring, I crear sounds and also orchestrate. In productions, I sometimes have to also mix the music in producing. I’m basically in every facet of music production.
