Gary Kibler has a long history of composing and producing his unique brand of music. His evocative scores have been featured in film, television and a variety of game titles for Sony Pictures and others. A self-taught musician, Gary grew up in a musical household with his mother teaching him piano while being exposed to a wide range of music. Much of his early life was spent playing bass or lead guitar for a series of popular heavy and progressive rock bands around the Los Angeles/Orange County area where he grew up. In 1976 Gary acquired his first synthesizer, a Univox Mini-Korg. Though primitive by today's standards (pre-MIDI, non-programmable monophonic, single voice oscillator) the new instrument served as a catalyst to his already established interests in multi-track recording using early reel-to-reel tape units such as the Teac 3340. By the time personal computers entered the scene in the mid-eighties as serious music tools, Gary had already begun what was to become a lifelong exploration of the intersection between music and technology that continues to this day.

In 2006 Sony Pictures Entertainment commissioned Gary to create a unique audio and music design for the first PC game based on their blockbuster book and film franchise "The Da Vinci Code". Assisting in the final production was Bruce Maddocks who had master engineered a string of award-winning film soundtracks for Hans Zimmer, Harry Gregson-Williams, and others. Among these were "Pirates of the Caribbean", "The Last Samurai" and "Batman Begins". Gary's music for The Da Vinci Code went on to become one of the top 20 most downloaded game or film-related tracks of 2006. His song "Winds of Change" was later featured on Britain's top-rated television program "Top Gear", a show with a long-standing reputation for showcasing the best of new and established music.

In 2007 Gary again created a popular music-themed internet meme by introducing "The Yellow Album". A creative excercise in scaling back production, the album broke new ground in demonstrating that a near-studio-quality album could be produced using nothing more than a $200 palm-sized touchpad synthesizer called the Kaossilator. A great deal was made over the fact that no external processing or overdubs were used; what people heard was simply a single Korg Kaossilator in the hands of someone who had appreciated its musical potential. News of the album spread quickly on the major music and culture blogs, resulting in "The Yellow Album" receiving over 250,000 downloads to date. Korg has since publicly acknowledged Gary's contribution to its overall sales of their device with "The Yellow Album" being currently available on iTunes, Amazon and other major online retailers.

Gary has worked for Sony Pictures in their Games Studio based in Culver City and later for Sony Online Entertainment in San Diego. He currently lives in England where he works for the BBC while continuing to compose for new game and film projects.

"With its combination of hard suspense and cool mystique, "The Da Vinci Code" puts a unique set of demands on a soundtrack composer. Gary Kibler proves himself up to the challenge with his cerebral score, which alternates between airy synth sketches and urgent orchestral suites." -CNET MUSIC EDITOR'S REVIEW

"We first heard about the buzz surrounding the Yellow Album while we were showing off the KAOSSILATOR at NAMM. Gary definitely took the device to a much higher creative level than we ever expected with this album concept." -JAMES SAJEVA - Product Manager for DJ, Dance and Computer Products - KORG USA
