Chase Deso

Composer

Chase Deso is a multi-instrumentalist and composer based out of Los Angeles. Born and raised in Texas, Chase drew inspiration from the gritty blues and jazz of Dallas and the experimental sounds emerging from Denton and New York City in the 1990s. By 13 he was already playing guitar, piano, and trumpet, while afternoons in his grandfather's TV-repair shop-surrounded by electronics and vintage test gear-sparked a lifelong fascination with sound design. These experiences shaped his unique compositional style: experimental production techniques grounded in the timeless warmth of acoustic instrumentation. After Graduating Berklee College of Music in 2009, Chase moved to New York City where he became a long time collaborator with Saunder Jurriaans and Daniel Bensi. He currently works out of his studio in the historic Glassell Park neighborhood in Los Angeles.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
