HARRISON MUSIC LTD.

Film Music Composers


Ron and Dave Harrison

Harrison Music Ltd. has been in business since 1971 composing and producing original sound tracks for films, developing every aspect from spotting the films, to composition and arrangements, to hiring musicians, playing on and conducting, doing the copying, hiring the studio, and producing the entire music sound track.

Harrison Music is a father and son team featuring Ron Harrison and son, Dave Harrison. Between the two generations, all types of music are possible. Ron grew up in the jazz era and studied orchestral composition. Dave grew up in the Rock era and also studied traditional composition. A recent addition to this team, John Huntley, was sited by Dave as having excellent arranging and composition talent. John's background is very much similar to Dave's.

Their list of accomplishments is far reaching and extensive. Please have a listen to some samples as you read through this page. The music takes just less than a minute to load over a basic high speed modem, so please be patient. To listen to more samples go to Harrison Music Ltd. on myspace.com.
