- I began my career in the pro music biz at the tender age of 17, placing songs with Top 40 artists The Standells and getting my own artist deals, first with GNP Crescendo, and later, ABC Records.
I founded Track Record Studios in Los Angeles where I engineered or produced for The Association, Canned Heat, Brian Wilson, and Lauren Wood, and others.
As a journalist, I was staff writer for Keyboard Magazine (MusicMedia) , as well as writing for other industry pubs such as Songwriter, Mix Magazine, Cue, and The Hollywood Reporter.
I have also been a panelist at AES, The Computer Game Developer's Conference, and California Lawyers for the Arts. I co-founded the Assoc. of Interactive Audio & Music Professionals which was later adopted by the MMA as the Interactive Audio SIG.
I composed the original score to a unique children’s video, “Elroy’s Toy,” on the Miramar label, directed by Jan Nickman (creator of “The Mind’s Eye”). A partial list of corporate clients includes Microsoft, Miller’s Outpost, Splash Studios, Rymell Multimedia, Gamco, and Aureal, Inc.
Today, my instrumental compositions range from acoustic guitar-based tracks to complete orchestral arrangements. My most recent projects have included music for television programs (Discovery Channel, Biography, BET, etc.) and creating original tracks for several music libraries.

Such is the case with a three-part series put on by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences under the category of “The…

Yes, I know lots of people in L.A. are looking forward to the day they can permanently "get out of town." That's why everyone looks at me like I'm some kind of nut case when I tell them I'm heading back to L.A. after 15 years in the Bay Area.

Ooops!!on my first visit to the forum, i was listening to "Chaos Theory" then somehow i placed the track right beside two of my wretched song-lets!!
just after mailing u, i found the option of removing the track from the list.Thus u didnt find it.
My apologies for the whole fiasco!!(or should i say "chaos""?!! :) )
Dear Mr Safir,
i dont know how,but i have got your "chaos theory" into "my music" and i am geeting kudos for your work!!!i am really sorry.!!!!hats off to u for such a wonderful track!!!now could u kindly suggest me how can remove the track from my quack-y songs and thereby exonerate my self from the guilt of plagiarism
regards
SB
I only have two songs here now. But I'm currently working on a package of 8 instrumentals, some of which I'll post here after I complete the package.
It would be a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
