Carl King

by Carl King

In the progressive rock world, I worked under the names Sir Millard Mulch and Dr. Zoltan. I’ve made music with Dweezil Zappa, Virgil Donati, Mike Keneally, Marco Minnemann, Travis Orbin, Thomas Lang, and Morgan Agren. My 2005 album, “How To Sell The Whole F#@!ing Universe To Everybody, Once And For All!” was co-released on Mimicry Records owned by Trey Spruance of Mr. Bungle. I now focus on scoring orchestral music for TV and film. I studied composition at State College of Florida and I have a Master Certificate in Composition and Orchestration for Film & TV from Berklee Online. In the filmmaking world, I’ve worked on several documentaries (Jon Schnepp’s The Death Of Superman Lives: What Happened starring Tim Burton and Kevin Smith, Apocalypse Later: Harold Camping Vs The End of the World, and Morgan Agren’s Conundrum featuring Devin Townsend and Brendon Small). Lately, I create my own animated shows, which I also write, direct, and score. Creative work inquiries: carl@carlkingdom.
