Freddy Avis: Electronic Musician & Composer
Episode 5: Writing & Producing Music. Today we speak with the other mind behind In Process: Freddy Avis, a sharp, futuristic musician for the 21st Century. Based in Highland Park, Los Angeles, Freddy got his start working under acclaimed composer James S. Levine (Glee, American Horror Story, Bloodline, Nip Tuck, The Last Ship) for two years at Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control Productions in Santa Monica, CA. Since then Freddy holds music credits on hit shows including Major Crimes, Instinct, Star, & Chambers, as well as countless placements on Tiger King, Shark Tank, Dateline, & The Dr. Oz Show. He’s also contributed synth & percussion work on James Newton Howard’s scores for Walt Disney features Jungle Cruise and Raya and the Last Dragon. But even more enticing is Freddy's electronic alter ego, Arswain, under which he composes dark, inspiring, and profoundly eco-conscious music for our time. 2020 has seen the release of his debut album, Partitioning, as well as several music videos for the project.
Freddy holds a pair of Bachelor's degrees in Music and Political Science from Stanford University. During his Stanford tenure, Freddy pitched for Stanford's baseball team and was drafted by the Washington Nationals in the 25th round of the 2012 Major League Baseball Draft.
