Six time BMI award winning composer John Nooney is a graduate of the University of Montana. Shortly after moving to Los Angeles he began writing music for television advertisements and performing in various bands in Los Angeles. He toured Europe with Greg Dulli and the Twilight Singers and had the opportunity to record the critically acclaimed “Covers” album. He then met composer Russ Landau and started composing music for the television show “Survivor”. Eventually he began working with composers David Vanacore, Kevin Kiner, and David Steinberg. John found a niche composing to picture and has written, recorded and produced 16 television themes and thousands of music underscore cues. In addition to underscore he played on countless recordings, re-recorded and mixed the Stevie Wonder song “Signed Sealed Delivered” for the animated feature Postman Pat, wrote and produced the theme for PUBG’S PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS Global Championship (featuring singer Ryan Edger), performs in the local LA band “Deadwood Jones”and is the owner of West Valley Records hiring the talents of producer Dave Darling to record the debut album for Americiana Artist Bernie Barlow.

Musique du jour

Cues of the day are written for the love of it. This section will be updated frequently and composed in whatever style appeals to me at the time.

Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy writing them. Contact me if you want to hear something specific for your project.

Can Be Heard On

Underscore

A sampling of underscore cues used in various shows written in a variety of styles. With about 5000 underscore cues written over the years, if you watch television, I am pretty sure you have heard my music.

Emotional / Introspective

Dark Energetic

Quirky

Light Tension

Aggressive / Rock

Themes

Themes are a unique opportunity to define the sound of a show. Over the years I have been challenged to write music that inspires the listener while focusing on what sometimes feels like an infinite choice of sonic styles into an aesthetic that is unique to each show.

West Valley Records

West Valley Records started with one goal in mind. Recording and producing outstanding talent.

We are proud to introduce you to our first artist….

Bernie Barlow

Bernie Barlow has spent her career backing up some of the brightest lights in blues and rock music, including many years as a backing singer for the Moody Blues, Sarah McLachlan, Melissa Etheridge, and Janiva Magness. Now the UK-Born, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter is stepping to the front of the stage with her debut album Redeemed. The skillful songwriting, high production value, and musicianship of Redeemed reflect Barlow’s long career in the music industry. The resulting album draws on Barlow’s love of roots music, and her rich, emotional voice delivers an authentic and powerful performance.

“I wanted to make a record the way Shelby Lynn or Carol King or Bonnie Raitt made a record” Barlow said. “Something you can put on and listen to over and over. Something you can put on ten years from now and still like it”

With Redeemed, she has.

Redeemed is a full length album streaming on all platforms now.
