Northern Lights Launches Sister Sound Company, SuperExploder

It’s barely halfway into February, and the New York City audio post scene has yet another new wrinkle.

Northern Lights has officially launched its audio post facilities as SuperExploder.

The latest development comes from post boutique Northern Lights, which has expanded their brand with the launch of their latest sister company, audio house SuperExploder. The sound facility joins the production company Bodega and design/animation firm Mr. Wonderful under the Northern Lights roof.

SuperExploder offers comprehensive sound services — mixing, sound design, creative services, and casting — for commercials, promos, radio, feature films, web content and experiential projects. It is staffed by mixer/sound designers Ted Gannon and Jody Nazzaro, Executive Producer Beth Cummins and Audio Assistant Tony Sprayberry.

In addition, SuperExploder will represent Ted Gannon, David Brent and Michael Carey for original music composition.

Ted Gannon began his career audio engineering for artists like Lenny Kravitz, Prince Paul, and Wu Tang Clan, and television shows such as “Beavis and Butthead.” He built his portfolio as a mixer/sound designer/composer for Manhattan facilities Subvoyant and Bionic, for clients including History Channel’s “Ax Men” and “Ice Road Truckers”, USA, Vh1 and Food Network, Nike, Puma, Axe, and Trix.

Jody Nazzaro joins SuperExploder after a seven+ year stint at midtown’s  Bionic, where he built his reputation as a senior sound designer/mixer for clients including Lancôme, Puffs, Amstel, Publicis, DDB, Saatchi & Saatchi, USA, Spike TV, MTV and Comedy Central.

SuperExploder's WSDG-designed 5.1 mix suite.

Cummins spent 14+ years as a business manager at Northern Lights, before moving to SuperExploder.

SuperExploder is being built in a new space, which will ultimately encompass five mix rooms, including a John Storyk-designed 5.1 mix studio which was completed in 2010, plus a 5.1 mix studio designed specifically for Nazzaro by Brian Dorfman of Orchard Design Group.

SuperExploder appears to have hit the ground running, with current work on broadcast projects for USA, Spike, Nickelodeon, Comedy, Vh1, Cloo, Chiller, TBS and others; commercial mixing for various General Mills brands through Saatchi & Saatchi, NY, Lancôme for Publicis, NY; and original music compositions for P&G which will be prominently featured in the 2012 Olympics.
