You have such a diverse range of musical styles. Your music blows away the competition." - Glenn Powell - Director, Doorbell "I had the pleasure of working with David on a film that had a tight deadline.

David's sensibilities as a composer for film and his understanding of film making make him an easy collaborator. I'd work with him again anytime!" - Vladimir Minuty, Director and Producer of the film "Overtime" "I am so excited to be working with David on my film. Not only is David a tremendous and talented composer, he has a unique musical sensitivity and perspective that fits my film perfectly" - Mark C. Huntington - Director, Shadows of October. "Working with David was a truly exciting experience! As a filmmaker who appreciates music and the visual medium, it's great to work with a composer who understands the importance of fusing the two mediums. Dave is so talented at interpreting and executing the music for the visual medium, that it is nearly impossible to not want to work with him again on future projects. As a filmmaker, It amazes me how he interprets the themes of my medium flawlessly, through his medium - music; while still maintaining his artistic voice and letting it shine through seamlessly. It was an honor to work with him". - Davis Northern - Director. "I wanted to thank you for the outstanding contribution you and your people made to our PBS documentary, The Last Covered Bridges of Pennsylvania. With your beautiful musical score, I was finally able to produce the documentary I've always wanted to do. No wonder it was nominated for an Emmy nomination!" - John Jones, Executive Producer and Director. " David's music was awesome, everyone was blown away !"

"To anyone making a choice between music libraries, composers/arrangers and products with David's name on it, is well worth the listen.

John "Dusty" Rees FL&L Digital Production Studios, Inc. REVIEWS OF DAVID'S SOUND DESIGN "Gets started with a bang ! The noise loops on disk one are some of the most useful I've heard. they are very cool. There is a nice mixture of super tight machine beats, human feeling funk grooves, and loops with synth accompaniment. The bad news is...well there isn't any! " Keyboard Magazine ***** Star Review September 1996 issue. Review of Syntonic Generator SFX CD "Balls to the walls analog synth tones, patterns and events that will make sit up and take notice ! The sound quality is consistently top notch. Out of this world ! Terrific rhythm patterns abound. Slammin' stuff ! It's the wild stuff that send this into five star territory !" Keyboard Magazine ***** Star Review September 1996 issue. Review of Vortexual Amplitude SFX CD "Vortexual Amplitude stands apart completely from the common analog synthesizer products for many distinct reasons. An absolutely brilliant resource for analog keys and loops. We envisage Vortexual Amplitude to appease even the most finicky of synthesizer enthusiasts!!!" From the Shark-What is Net MUSIC & SOUND EFFECT REVIEWS OF DAVID'S GAME PRODUCTIONS "Audio...Brilliant !" "The Music Score had the rousing sound of a Jack Ryan movie score. It pumped up the blood with staccato rhythm and military trumpetry." FROM: The Adrenalin Vault "Great Audio and awesome mission briefings". FROM: Games First "The sound in this game is great! Your forces respond in realistic and clear voices, the firing from your weapons are nice and beefy, and the enthusiasm in your forces' voices are real as they announce 'tank kill!" FROM PC GAME.com The sound effects are so good you might actually soil yourself. If you have a speaker system with a subwoofer, you're in for a treat. You may actually forget you're in the safety of your own home. Another great feature of Force 21 is it's soundtrack. It'll get you pumped up in no time. FROM: PC GAME.com "The audio effects are something that deserve mention. From tank fire to helicopter noise everything sounds great, (especially after I piped it through my stereo and let it rip). There really is no better feeling then to sneak up on an unsuspecting enemy position with a healthy-sized attack force, popping up long enough to launch a barrage of anti-tank missiles and tank shells and to then listen to your commanders call out each enemy kill. It was music to my ears." FROM: GAMES First "The audio comes across so subtly that you just sit there and go "yeaaahhh." You hear and feel the "whoosh" of rockets from the helicopters, and the tanks and artillery are felt in the pit of your stomach with their deep booms. Okay, enough said; the audio works and works very well." FROM: Gamezilla PC Games "The Game has Great Music. It's Good, Clean, and Clear." FROM: Game Tropics The rumble of engines, the commands over the radio, and the gut-wrenching explosions made for a very horrific feeling of real warfare." FROM: Game Zone "What was truly inspiring was the music" FROM: AGN3D MUSIC DEMO LINKShttp://www.dfmusicgroup.com/listendemos.html OR http://www.dfmusicgroup.com/musiclicensingstore.html OR www.reverbnation.com/davidfrederick OR iTUNES STORE: http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/david-frederick/id371214472 BIOYears of award winning work as a composer, David continues to inspire audiences through his music and creativity.
