TriPops

the music collaboration, creation, & production of Alex Oliver
&
Roy Rendahl
Alex & Roy in a past version
of
Trimordial Studio with Tascam 8-track cassette recording -- over 10 years ago (above).

"Ghost
Riders In The Sky" cover song performed by Chuk Peña and TriPops Music
Production in 2015. Recorded, mixed, mastered, and song cover art by
Trimordial Studio Las Vegas.
TriPops helped Dave Guhlow record his
album Stupid Songs. Dave says it is 12
original (& stupid) comedy songs about everything
from boogers to quantum mechanics to an annoying Christmas
song. Some kid friendly, some for very warped adults,
&
some definitely not for grandma (unless she's very warped).
You can hear song previews or buy the songs or album at CD
Baby.
Sample
some songs
that started with just words & melody from Lory Larsson aka
Lola
Halema. TriPops created, performed, & recorded the
backing
music.

members of TriPops & Poppermost.
Alex
is our very talented "musical brain" producer --
composing, arranging,
singing, and playing multiple instruments in multiple
genres. Alex can write music to your words or put words to
your
music; or he can collaborate with you on writing and arranging your
songs; or he can write and perform complete songs for you.
Alex also gives
music lessons and coaching too.
We
can help you write, perform, and record your own original or cover
music, or we can write, perform,
and
record brand new music for you for any use that you might require:
quick singer-songwriter demos to finished mastered music albums with
artwork; TV or radio
advertising jingle music; and film,
movie, or TV song placement, and song or full
soundtrack composition.
We
can work with you in person or by easily sending
files back and forth over the web anywhere in the world. We
don't
use MIDI programing, loops, beats, or "canned" music. We play
and record all our instruments live by hand (although we
do use a metronome). And
we don't use Auto-Tune either, we work to
get the best natural vocal performance. Alex and
Roy are also the music and tech behind the popular Poppermost pop rock
music band based in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
