Facilitator/Composer David De Palo has scored and/or orchestrated over twenty Studio films. He holds a Master's degree in composition from the Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University, a Bachelor of Arts from Hampshire College, and an artist's diploma from The USC Thornton School of Music in Scoring for Motion Pictures, Film and TV. He has studied with Elmer Bernstein, Buddy Baker, Bruce Broughton, Christopher Young, David Raksin, Joe Harnell, and Marc Shaiman.
Deciding to move his studio from Hollywood to Thousand Oaks was the genesis of the concept behind Fun-do-mental Music. "Wow, this would be a great room for a jam..." was his first thought on seeing the expansive main room of the studio. Thus Fun-do-mental Music was born.
David at peace
As the studio evolved, so David's consciousness was raised. Originally designed as a space for musical jam parties, Fun-do-mental Music has become an experiential spiritual center, encouraging personal growl through music, motion, and the study of metaphysics.
