"Dear Lars:
Thank you so much for your music and sound work on my video for the Alameda County Library Foundation.
Your original music perfectly captures the spirit and you managed to seamlessly merge my sync audio with your music and the voice over by Doug McConnell of Bay Area Back Roads fame.
In short, you made the whole exceed the sum of its parts. I am looking forward to the next production".

"I hired Lars to write the music score, and do the sound design, voice over recording and overall sound production for a five-minute stop-motion animation piece for children titled 'Little Manny's Missing' that I had produced and directed.
Lars dug right in and came up with delightful special effects sounds and music composition cues that radically changed (and improved!) my film.
He listened carefully to my suggestions and came up with a remarkable soundtrack.
Bravo!"

"I needed an inspired musical score for the visuals of Gwen growing older and the explanation of the death...a musical introduction that suggested something bad was about to occur. Lars created the emotional subtext, a haunting melodic score "Elegy to Gwen" that expressed all our feelings perfectly.
Lars' music simply moves me. I highly recommend working with Lars anytime-he made it very very easy for me."
— Michelle Prevost, Director/Producer
The award-winning documentary short film "Isn't obvious" was shown at festivals in San Francisco, Denver, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Austin, Edmonton, Canada, Washington DC, Seattle, Santa Barbara, Dallas.
Ed McClanahan:
"Lars Hidde's sweet, spirited musical accompaniment is just perfect. Since 1957 I've owned--and regularly listened to, and half-memorized--a recording of Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Kenneth Rexroth reading poetry to jazz in a San Francisco club called The Cellar. This little album supercedes that one; forty-some-odd years from now, discerning folks will say, "I've got this great old recording. . . "
