Bendy provides CD mastering services for Karaoke Ice, a public art project, an ice cream truck-turned-mobile-karaoke-unit, will be deployed throughout Los Angeles to unite people in a collective quest to perform and record new versions of pop songs using the vernacular of ice cream truck music. Karaoke Ice introduces people to the playful ways in which technology can be used to give voice to personal and collective concerns, as well as enable meaningful social interaction between groups, both large and small. While Karaoke Ice explores a large range of LA neighborhoods, LACE's Listening Parties will invite a diversity of communities into LACE.

Andy Snavley of Bendy Music preps some musical mashing tracks for Projekt Revolution, a Verizon sponsored online “Mash Battle” between rock bands Linkin Park and H.I.M.. Each mash battle was created by remixing the master recordings of each song, and creating separate music elements that are played back in a multitrack web interface.

    Our business model has always been about diversity and flexibility, thats why we called it "Bendy". We are a network of creative professionals that expand and contract to meet a particular projects requirements. Individuals work in their own studios or larger facilities for more direct client interaction. This approach has allowed us to grow quickly to take on large projects, as well as being able to take the small jobs seriously. Each member of the collective is free to take on other work separately, but what makes Bendy special is our continuous desire to work together. We have found that we are able to apply the Bendy model to a variety of projects such as film, television, internet, and music albums in addition to advertising areas. And, as it turns out, our creative people tend to be inspired by this diversity in work. That makes the work better and keeps us on our toes in regards to new technologies and trends. We have presentation and mix rooms in West Los Angeles, each composer and sound designer has his own writing room usually in their homes, we have ADR and foley in Hollywood, and we use various recording studios around town. This modularity gives us great flexibility, so we can tailor our facility to each project.
 
    Our clients recognize that we are different and that we are refining this modern work ethic. Anyone can complain about how music licensing is replacing original music, or how budgets aren't what they used to be etc.. But we are lucky to live in a time when we can redefine this business. We see exciting possibilities.
 

Andy Snavley of Bendy:Music joins the Warner Brothers post production crew as music scoring mixer and music editor for the upcoming documentary feature film, “The 11th Hour”.

Los Angeles, Calif., March 1, 2007 – Andy Snavley, principle creative and owner of music, sound design, and mixing shop 'Bendy', completes sound effects for his most recent foray into the feature film world. "Mr. Brooks" (© 2007 MGM) is the story of Earl Brooks (played by Academy Award winner, Kevin Costner), a loving family man and a local business icon. But Mr. Brooks is deeply flawed and very aware of it. He is addicted to killing. Struggling with his pathology, he tries to quit, but his alter-ego, “Marshall” (played by Academy Award winner, William Hurt), has an altogether different idea. “Marshall” enjoys his “existence” and his “work.”
 
"Working on features is very different from working on commercials or television, the scale of the projects are massive in comparison, and the playback systems have totally different characteristics, but I find that beyond the technical differences the creative process is surprisingly similar. The sound design must be appropriate and tell the story, the sound effects and music must blend and not compete, and the dialog must be heard at all times no matter if you are mixing for TV, radio, cellphones, or film. Each format has its own limitations and abilities.", says Snavley. 
 
Snavley, who began his career in sound in 1992 at the now defunct film sound company Soundstorm, came to advertising in 1994 when he joined bi-coastal tomandandy and later Chris Bell and Company (CB+Co.) as a composer, sound designer, engineer. He has always maintained his roots in film however, having completed several independent projects.
 
"One of the reasons we launched Bendy in 2004 was to expand our collaborative approach beyond advertising into different mediums." says Andy. Since Bendy's inception Snavley has become very active in film, television and radio as a Sound Designer and Mixing Engineer. For "Mr. Brooks" Snavley joined forces with Hollywood Global Pictures based in Hollywood California. 
 
Snavley's other recent film work includes: Mars Callahan's "What Love Is" staring Cuba Gooding Jr., Matthew Lillard, and others; "Splinter" with Tom Sizemore and Edward James Olmos; and the documentary "Mario's Story".
 
"Mr. Brooks" opens in theatres June 1st.
