SHAWN K. CLEMENT – COMPOSER - BIO

Shawn has had a multi-faceted career as a composer in a variety of genres and styles. As a songwriter, producer, performer and engineer, he has written over 25,000 pieces of music, which have earned him more than 300 credits on TV series, Films, Video Games and Records. He has been nominated for, as well as won, over the years, many awards.  A notable piece of work, QUANTUM QUEST (performed by the San Francisco Philharmonic and recorded at Skywalker Ranch), was nominated for Hollywood Music in Media Awards’ Best Score, and won a Global Music Award.  He has literally worked for every major studio, every major television network as well as for every major cable network.
 
In 2011, he was commissioned by The Wounded Warriors’ Project to write the orchestral piece, The Warrior’s Hymn, for The Tribute for Wounded Warriors. It was premiered at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC by a 106-member orchestra, 247-member choir, and was sung by Jon Anderson of YES.
 
That piece was later recorded in the studio with Robin Zander of Cheap Trick on vocals; Jack Douglas (John Lennon, Aerosmith, The Who, Cheap Trick, George Harrison, Alice Cooper, etc.) producing; Warren Huart (The Frey, Aerosmith, Korn, Ace Frehley) mixing; Bob Ludwig (Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Nine Inch Nails, etc.) mastering; a 40-piece choir and the Skywalker Symphony.
 
The record release of Warrior’s Hymn and another Jazz/fusion record called Raw Fungus (which also had an All-Star lineup) he recorded in the same year, received multiple award nominations and wins.
 
His latest project has been a recording of various works he has written over the last 2 years, which includes a very diverse group of musicians, including the late Keith Emerson (Emerson Lake & Palmer, The Nice), Vinnie Colaiuta (Frank Zappa, Sting, Peter Gabriel, Jeff Beck, Chick Corea, Faith Hill, Megadeath), Ike Willis (Frank Zappa), Don Adey (Moody Blues), Geoff Downs (YES, Asia, The Buggles), Tony Franklin (The Firm with Jimmy Page, Kenny Wayne Shepperd, White Snake, Quiet Riot..), Chaka Khan, and many more….
 
In addition to working as a composer, he has also run his own successful production company that was housed inside Paramount Pictures, which developed and produced feature films and television shows.  A personal highlight while at Paramount, was when Ray Bradbury personally asked Clement, not only to score the only documentary Ray approved about his life, but was also asked to co-produce, along with Joe Mantegna.  Unfortunately, Ray passed away before the film was completed. A panel was held at Comic Con, along with Joe and Edward James Olmos, amongst others.  A befitting place as Ray was one of the co-creators of Comic con.
 
As a side note, he has instructed a multitude of people in diverse environments.  He has conducted music theory and composition seminars at Lowell University, instructed for the Musician’s Institute, professionally taught guitar techniques for 7 years, and also spearheaded many “master-classes” and panels around the world for NAMM, ASCAP, BMI, CCC, GDC, Berklee College of Music and Comic Con to name a few.  These master-classes and panels encompassed many aspects of the business including compositional techniques, publishing, contractual issues copyright issues, artist rights and career trajectory theories - all pertaining to the creative film scoring business.  All of this experience has kept Clement on the vanguard of leading industry-companies, which has given him even more insight into modern technology and music.

Management, Publishing, producing. ( It’s not just music, It’s an addiction, !!!. ).

Singer/songwriter/guitarist/actor/voice over artist/tribute artist. 
All my originals (and the select few covers I’ve included) here were done on my home studio and I played all the instruments and sang all the parts. No one else is to blame! 

Main instruments are my Gretsch electric guitars, my Guild and Gibson acoustics, and my old trusty, short-scale Squier bass. 

Recorded on my iPad Air through GarageBand, with Focusrite 2i2 interface, AT 3035  condenser mic, Shure SM58 Beta, K&K Pure mini pickup system and preamp for acoustic guitars and a Mel 9 pedal.

In November 2011, I had surgery to remove a troublesome and
worrying skin tumour. With the advent of the new year (2012) I decided I
was going to take up playing the guitar as I always have felt very limited
by only singing songs to backing tracks. I felt the guitar would be a
welcome addition to my entertainment value and possibly make me
more sought after in the entertainment world.

I started to play by ear (self taught) in Feb 2012 and by June 2012, I
was playing live in Tahoyo restaurant in Arietta (Haria). I don't think
there would be many people on this planet, who would take their guitar
playing into a live environment so quickly, but it was a measure of how
confident I was in the sound of the guitar and my arrangements of
popular music.

My playing was well received and the purpose of placing my recordings
here, is to demonstrate how I am able to progress (hopefully).

As yet, I have no desire to sing and play the guitar in a combined
arrangement as I believe my guitar and I have 2 distinct voices and
maybe (unlike the females of our species), I am just not able (yet) to
multi task (lol)

As yet, I have not wanted to play chorded guitar as I find my fingers fat
and awkward on the fret board in playing chords. Equally, I do not like
the prospect of becoming a strummer a sI like the individual notation
and sound of picking single strings... So I have no idea how my guitar
playing will (or will not) evolve. I only know that I am committed to trying
to find "my sound" and "my signature" because as yet, I have not found
it.

If you find my playing boring or cumbersome, maybe you might
acknowledge me solely by remembering, that I took up playing the
guitar at the age of 53 and at the time of writing this, Jan 16th 2013, I
am now staring at the decrepit old age of 55 in March! (lol).
