ARRANGER & COMPOSER

Eric Kalver’s IMDB

After years of performance awards and honors as a drummer in Rhode Island, Eric attended Berklee College of Music with a performance scholarship. He knew that due to his upbringing of musical theater, he was too anxious to only perform; he wanted to write and arrange. Through his major, Eric was selected 2 years in a row as a featured arranger for the Contemporary Writing & Production Student Concerts. He was known for his unique arrangements: turning a System of a Down song into a bossa nova; changing a Britney Spears song into a 6/8 acappella piece, and mashing up pop songs from Justin Timberlake and Beyonce. 

Eric has worked on Fast Five and Battle: Los Angeles with composer Brian Tyler (Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World) such as ; Skyline with Matthew Margeson (Rocketman, Kingsman: The Secret Service); Madagascar the Ride at Universal Studios Singapore with orchestrator/conductor James Sale (Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs), 21 Jump Street with composer Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo, Thor: Ragnarok, The Lego Movie), and Nashville, Under the Dome, and Seal Team with Snuffy Walden and Patrick Rose (The West Wing, Friday Night Lights). Eric’s music has been heard on CBS, Netflix, and most recently in the first trailer for Amazon’s hit animated series Invincible.

Additionally, Eric is a published arranger through Alfred Music Publishing, he co-composed the music for Miley Montana: The Musical with composer Dan Wessels at the famous Second City in Hollywood, CA. He has also worked for Upright Citizens Brigade, 30 Minute Musicals, and Lost Moon Radio. 

With all of Eric's experiences in composing, arranging, and orchestrating, he has a vast musical knowledge and cinematic sense that will be great for any project he attaches himself to.
