Eddie Korvin
Eddie Korvin at Blue Rock Studio reception area, c. 1975
Korvin co-composed the score for the Emmy Award-winning documentary series This Was America alongside Ron Frangipane. They received particular recognition for their work on the episode "Hometown."[1]
Korvin owned the Blue Rock Studio from 1970 to 1986.[2] The studio was located in SoHo, Manhattan.[3]
Intentionally conceived as a one-room-only recording facility, Blue Rock Studio offered privacy and intimacy in a creative surrounding.[5]
As described in an interview with Ace Records some 40 years after the event: “Right away, Bill booked himself into New York’s Blue Rock studios and within four hours his band laid down 9 tracks. Two hours later, the album 'Let's Do It Again' had been mixed! Bill acknowledges the input of the studio staff; 'The guy responsible for our sound was Eddie Korvin – he was the engineer. He said he never heard a session recorded this way in his life – so he kept it the way we played.'"[6]
Work in television and film
Korvin began composing music commercially around 1980, scoring for projects in film, television and commercials. In 1982, he won an Emmy Award for scoring an episode of the documentary series, “This Was America”. Working with film director David Sutherland, a former classmate at Tufts University, Korvin was composer and assistant director for the award-winning film, Jack Levine: A Feast Of Pure Reason.[7] Other scoring projects included two more films with Sutherland for PBS as well as shows for HBO, Cinemax and an ABC TV Christmas special.[8] Still active today, he has recently worked with director John Alexander as music supervisor on Bender and on Little Satchmo as assistant director, music supervisor, and composer .[9][10] In 2023, he won a second Emmy for his work on Little Satchmo.[11] In 2024, in partnership with his son, Edouard Korvin, he opened a post production audio facility, Studio 26, in Santa Monica, CA and completed music and sound design on a feature documentary, God As My Witness, directed by Lindsay Q. Pitre.[12]
