abbott sounds

Hey! I’m currently a trailer music composer for Really Slow Motion. A manic mix of many sounds — classical piano professor mother, heavy metal guitarist brother, trumpet player, synth noodler, scraped-metal-dumpster-diving-maniac with a Zoom mic.

TESTIMONIALS

Rick is an incredibly talented composer who consistently delivers highly original, well thought out pieces of music bang on brief. Plus he’s always on time for zoom meetings 🤣
— Richard Pryn, absolute legend
“Working with Rick Abbott on four trailer tracks for Hunchback Studio’s
albums was a really positive experience. Rick is one of the nicest
people you could work with; friendly, open to ideas, and just really
easygoing. He adapts really well to different genres and always brings
his personal touch, following the brief but adding his own spin in a way
that works.

Rick is professional without making things feel formal or stressful.
He’s sharp, quick to adjust if something needs tweaking, and genuinely
cares about making quality compositions. If you’re looking for a
composer who’s skilled and easy to work with, I’d definitely recommend
Rick.

I first collaborated with Rick on the mastering sessions for his Moon car albums. Besides being uber-creative and understanding the business, Rick never delivers “expected” musical content. Whether he wants to evoke moodiness, heartfelt emotion or put a smile on your face, he’s a true original. An outside-of-the-box problem solver and a really great person.

I had the pleasure of working with Rick on a short film, “Pipe Dreams,” which went on to win the 2011 Soho Int’l Film Festival among other accolades. Rick’s highly original score brought the perfect blend of mood and emotion to the film, and contributed greatly to its success.

When I hear his work, I dreamt that I was living in the first settlement on Mars, exploring vast empty landscapes with melancholic delight and creating a new world of profoundly solemn wisdom. I’ve found new melodic narrative here for me and I don’t ever want to return to Earth.
