WORLD FAMOUS COMPOSER TIM JANIS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO TIDAL RIP MUSIC
Author Creator Joe Buff and Jim Amann, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of LA Productions & Entertainment, announced today that world-renown composer and musician Tim Janis, who has sold millions of albums worldwide and has worked alongside some of the biggest names in the music industry, will contribute to the soundtrack for the movie adaptation of Buff's critically acclaimed book, Tidal Rip .
"A powerful music score is key to any patriotic action-adventure film - just see Saving Private Ryan or Captain America," said Buff . " Tim Janis totally gets it about inspirational striving-and-triumph battle stories, whether historical like his Boston Pops 4th of July firework presentation, or futuristic like Tidal Rip!"
Tidal Rip will be the first 3-D "submarine and Navy SEAL's" blockbuster, with most filming for the independent project scheduled to take place in Connecticut. Amann said movie production work will boost local employment and add to the state's reputation as "Hollywood East."
"Whether I am working with George Clooney on my PBS special that Celebrates the beauty of America, or James Earl Jones on the American Christmas Carol , I like to work on projects that stay true to the theme that we live in a great country with much to be grateful for, especially to our currently serving military men, women and veterans," said Janis. " Tidal Rip will be a motion picture that not only thrills audiences but will also stay true to honoring America and all which it stands for in the world today."
"Tim is one of the music industry's great ambassadors whose work has engendered a huge, loyal, and passionate following," said Amann, who was named Tidal Rip's executive producer in October of this year. "The fact that Tim Janis's name is now associated with the Tidal Rip soundtrack brings us instant credibility. This is a major coup."
Janis's musical credits include five National Public Television specials and ten Billboard Charting CD's, including "Music of Hope" which reached #1 on Billboard Magazine's classical chart in 2001. Janis worked on the CD with such luminaries as Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, and Ray Charles.
