Larry Groupé is a composer whose musical versatility lends itself to distinct successes in the entertainment industry. Academy Award nominated Rod Lurie, a Director and Writer with whom Groupé has a collaborative history, explains, “His work is variegated to the degree that one cannot pigeonhole the specifics of his musical skill.” Groupé has been nominated for and received Emmy Awards on such films as Jonas Salk: Personally Speaking and Residue. In addition to composing the music for a number of features, such as Straw Dogs and The Contender, and series seen on HBO and ABC, he is the composer, conductor and producer of over 80 CD recordings. Groupé’s recent endeavor is re-teaming with Yes’ lead vocalist Jon Anderson and an orchestra for Brazils’ big, three-day EarthDayBrasil summer concert.
Larry is a new Apogee dude, having recently been outfitted by ProSound with a new Apogee Symphony I/O to go with his Digital Performer rig, and we recently completely re-built his MiniMoog D that he has owned since new, into a fantastic specimen of that analog classic chestnut of a synthesizer…
