Interview With Composer Richard Bellis Posted By Mike on October 14, 2008
See the intro below from EndorExpress.net and then click here for their interview with Emmy winning composer Richard Bellis who's work you may be familiar with form Star Tours and the Indiana Jones Adventure at Disney.
"When going to Disneyland, every one of your senses are tested. The colors in the landscaping and architecture are a feast for the eyes. The smells of fresh baked goods and the aroma of candy fill up Main Street, USA. The sounds of every land provide a varied tapestry for the ears, whether it's from the shows and attractions themselves or one of the many musical acts.
When you think of composers or song writers of Disneyland, Richard & Robert Sherman immediately come to mind as well as Buddy Baker and several others. Enter Richard Bellis. It's not a name often associated with Disneyland and other Disney Parks, but we'd like to change that. Richard Bellis is an Emmy-winning composer for Stephen King's "It", a long time faculty member at the University of Southern California, and current member on the Board of Directors of ASCAP (The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers). Bellis has offered his musical insight and talent to a great number of Disney attractions from the early days of EPCOT to the more recent "Aloha E Komo Mai!" Enchanted Tiki Room in Japan.
In between of course are a few highlights in his Disney career that have struck a stronger chord with some of us, and that is his work on Star Tours and the Indiana Jones Adventure."
Thanks Brian!
