Unsolicited customer testimonial

Because of your kind and considerate actions (as well as your website's clarity of explaining the uses of royalty-free music) you've won the customer loyalty of me and my business. We'll most likely be needing more music again (after all I'm still looking for that classical music piece --Johann Pachel's Canon in D major). And if anyone is looking for music, they'll sure get my endorsement, recommendation, and referal to you and www.shockwave-sound.com.

Featured Artist
Peter Cavallo

Hailing from the Australian Capital Territory, Peter Cavallo is a veteran music composer and producer, writing music of a classical, neo-classical / contemporary classical nature. His music is entirely without any electronic / electric elements and he relies on a traditional orchestral and semi-orchestral palette for his creations. His music lends itself exceptionally well to timeless projects and productions such as drama, period drama, epic love stories and classic mystery tales. Peter released his first exclusive Shockwave-Sound.com album "Secrets", available now for immediate licensing both as an album/collection, and of course, as individual tracks for licensing and download. Peter loves to ride motorbikes and lives in Australia with his long term girlfriend.
