New York, NY, August __, 2016: New York-based audio house SuperExploder has hired Emmy-winning mixer/sound designer Ted Marcus, formerly of Ultrabland. Marcus has over 20 years of experience in audio post, spanning mixing, editing, sound design and music for broadcast promos, feature films and music-driven long form content. Ted’s work has earned many industry accolades, including numerous PromaxBDA Awards, New York Festivals and CTAM Mark Awards and an Emmy. He also sound designed the film “Pitch,” which was selected for the Cannes Film Festival.
Ted’s innate sense of rhythm is derived from his lifelong experience as a musician. After over a decade as a professional audio engineer, Ted took his music skills to next level collaborating with Arizona-based rock band Meat Puppets. They brought him on as their drummer for their 2006 reunion and he spent four years writing, performing and touring with the band as well as recording two full-length albums.

Notes SuperExploder Partner David Gioiella, “Ted brings a unique style to everything he mixes. His spots simply stand out, which is exactly why we’re excited to welcome him to our team.” Adds Marcus, “SuperExploder has such a diversified body of work, which is unique in this industry. I’m looking forward to building upon my client list and expertise and expanding my abilities to a wide range of projects.”
Connecticut native Marcus studied Psychology at the University of Connecticut but discovered his passion for all things audio when he fell into a gig at a local Public Access channel. He quickly made his way to NYC and started his career at National Recording Studios, working his way up the ranks from Assistant to Audio Engineer. He moved on to work as a Mixer/Sound Designer at JECo Music/Stolen Car Productions and Clack Sound Studios, mixing top broadcast projects. In 2000, he brought his audio expertise to MTV’s On-Air Promos division, spearheading the revamp of their in-house audio facility. After over six years at MTV, he seized the opportunity to tour with the Meat Puppets, continuing to take mix assignments during breaks. Once Ted tired of life on the road, he joined Ultrabland,, building out their in-house facility and expanding their capabilities to include audio for promos, trailers and network image campaigns. In his 10 years there, he collaborated with a number of premium broadcast clients including HBO, Cinemax, FX and NatGeo, mixing and sound designing award-winning spots and promo campaigns.
