I’m Carl King. Independent music composer, filmmaker, and creator of animated shows. I’ve made zany albums as Sir Millard Mulch and Dr. Zoltan—and also a pretty complicated Carl King album called Grand Architects of the Universe. The album has guest performances by Dweezil Zappa, Virgil Donati, Marco Minnemann, Travis Orbin, and Mike Keneally.
I also score orchestral music for films, like Best of Five: The Classic Tetris Champions.
Drummers might know me as the director of Morgan Agren’s Conundrum, with guest stars Devin Townsend, Brendon Small of Metalocalypse, and Danny Carey of Tool.
Weekly, I host The Carl King Podcast. I talk about music, filmmaking, and general creativity. And the occasional interview, like Steve Vai, Trey Spruance of Mr. Bungle, and Mark Borchardt of Coven.
I created and wrote two animated pilots: That Monster Show (starring Dan Foster, LeeAnna Vamp, Joanie Brosas) and Oracle of Outer Space (starring Dweezil Zappa and Jon Schnepp of Metalocalypse).
