Testimonials
“Ari Mason is, in the most blatant of terms, my creative soulmate. I think every composer seeks to find those “forever” collaborators, be it directors, producers, music editors, or performers. She and I have always shared an unspoken artistic intuition. I can send her a piece of music I might be struggling to make right and she’ll come back with layers of experimental vocal textures, grunting rhythms, folk phrases with Old Norse lyrics, throat singing, and guttural screams. Then she’ll whip out her viola da gamba (she is an ancient music expert to boot) and double up a bunch of my ideas with layers of intertwining plucked rhythms. She’s a wildly inventive musician and she brings vivid color and interpretation to my scores.”

“Ari is an immense talent. As a vocalist, she lends an unmistakable quality to any score. Her technique ranges from ethereal and melodic to aggressive and terrifying to entirely otherworldly. On viola da gamba, her sense of history and her consummate musicianship imbue the performance with the beauty and weight of tradition, while she is equally unafraid to explore the instrument as a vehicle of the experimental and the avant-grade. She is indelibly linked to our score for Castlevania: Nocturne. It would not be possible without her!”

“Ari has an incredible ability to take my simple ideas and effortlessly expand on them to create unique, standout vocal parts that I feel lucky to feature in my music. She quickly delivers the highest quality recordings and is such a joy to collaborate with.”

“Ari has a way of effortlessly adding depth and emotion to any music she comes in contact with. After first working together on Fortnite, I was thrilled to reunite with her on Hello Kitty Island Adventure.”

“I have had the extreme good luck of finding out about Ari's talent through some good friends and colleagues and ever since I have been following her amazing artistic endeavors as a talented vocalist, musician (she is an amazing viola da gamba player), and also as an original solo artist.
I have been even luckier to hire her to be the featured vocalist on my score for "Qua dentro" (The Long Run). Being a voice-based score, her contribution to it was not only unique, but irreplaceable.
Besides her special talent, working with her was the smoothest experience, both on the human and the technical/professional side. There's nothing she can't sing. And everything is done beautifully! I'm looking forward to more and more musical fun together!”
