Composer, Songwriter, Performer, Author – Carter Little brings a broad range of creative skills and industry experience to 35 Sound as it’s newest Music Supervisor. The son of a Metropolitan Opera tenor, and a life-long musician, Little got his film chops at Insignia Films, in New York in the late ninties, working as a music researcher and boom operator fresh out of college. He would go on to assist Academy Award Winning Score Producer, Matthias Gohl (Gohl McLaughlin) in the studio and on the scoring stage for several years, until a budding songwriter and performance career brought him to Nashville in 2001 where he and his brother founded No Depression, Americana faves, Saddlesong, an alt-country the stage with Steve Earle and Tony Joe White, among others, before a major label deal with Sony fractured the group and the band split ways. Little went on to release several independent records as a solo artist including the critically-acclaimed, Dare To Be Small, in 2005, and in 2006, he collaborated with NY Times Best-Selling Author, Alice Randall, to co-author the encyclopedic, My Country Roots: The Ultimate MP3 Guide to America’s Original Outsider Music. Longing to return to his film roots, Little got the opportunity in 2006 when he was asked to serve as Music Supervisor and Co-Composer on the award-winning indy hit, The Living Wake (2007) starring rising comedic star, Mike O’Connell, and directed by Sol Tryon. Variety noted in their glowing review, “Carter Little and O’Connell’s score ideally cap the eccentricity of the pic”. Most recently, Little contributed scores for The Windfisherman (2007), Kate Wakes (2008), and he is currently penning a new score for Odysseus In America, a riveting documentary feature on Iraq War Veterans. He is thrilled to come on board with 35 Sound and to be among the best in the business.
