Hip Indie Feature Film

Los Angeles, CA — September, 2006 — See the hip indie feature that Neil Sedaka digs! ? Hot off the heels of its world premiere at DancesWithFilms, ‘Angel City’ receives a fine endorsement from music legend, Neil Sedaka, as it heads to the Temecula Valley International Film and Music Festival.

In addition to being an official selection at numerous high-profile film festivals including DancesWithFilms in Los Angeles, ‘Angel City’ recently received a wonderful endorsement from Neil Sedaka who enjoyed both the film and its original music: “I saw Niels Cederfeld’s movie ‘Angel City.’ I was most impressed with the music. The songs are melodic, and the lyrics poetic. They are contemporary sounding and could easily wind up on the charts. I thought the music was well placed in the film. Niels is a multi-talented artist with a bright future, remindful of a young Clint Eastwood. He has a great presence on the screen.” - Neil Sedaka.

Amazing All Star Debut

Since 1992, keyboardist Scott Kinsey has been the secret weapon of Tribal Tech, one of the premier bands on the fusion scene. A remarkably distinctive soloist with a unique harmonic sensibility and a wholly inventive approach to synthesizers.

Kinsey has an uncanny knack for making technology sound organic and orchestrating in the moment. As Tribal Tech ringleader explains, “Scott has been such a big influence on the direction that Tribal Tech has taken. Before we met him all we really had was a band that played tunes the way they were written out. But Kinsey was a major reason for us getting to that point of being able to throw the charts away and just jam right in the moment, because he could do it so well and pull it off every time. It wasn’t until I played with Scott that I realized how loose it can be and still sound totally together. Because he would be pulling out so much cool stuff to listen to that you didn’t need a note of written music. Kinsey’s such a great improvising musician but he also brings a real sense of form and harmony to it so that you can just jam freely and know that it’s always gonna sound cool.”
