Kimberly Henninger was born and raised in the musical mecca of Detroit MI. Her earliest musical memories are of tuning into AM Motown radio and listening to gospel songs and learning harmonies from her mom while riding in their Ford Pinto. As a teenager she snuck out to every punk and hip hop show she could, bounced around in a few bands, and studied video and media production under the esteemed tutelage of music industry icon Russ Gibb. Before turning 20 she co-founded a long standing venue of underground music and art – and booked dozens of underground acts over the course of several years. A short road trip to the West Coast eventually developed into a long-term love affair with the lush green mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Kimberly studied Fine Art at the University of Alaska and completed her degree in Art & Psychology at The Evergreen State College in Olympia WA. She has created music in cabins with cassette four tracks, with field recorders in parking garages, and in forests on big rivers. Kimberly is now a full-time composer and visual artist living in Portland Oregon. She is also a co-founder of Girls Rock Camp Foundation. In 2015, with partner Shawn Parke, Kimberly composed the original scores for the award winning indie feature Embers (Dir. Claire Carre) and Lucky (Dir. Bari Kang). Kimberly is a member of ASCAP & OMPA.
Shawn Parke grew up in the small rural desert town of Ellensburg WA. His love of cinema and music began with long summer days keeping cool in matinees at the local (and some say haunted) Liberty Theater. His first vinyl record was the John Williams score for ET – The Extra-Terrestrial – a Christmas gift that was played until the LP was worn out. His teenage years found him making films with friends and performing in bands – culminating in his first performance and a screening of his films, at age 17, at Kathleen Hanna’s Reko Muse gallery in Olympia WA. He later studied Hip Hop & Electronic Music Composition at The Evergreen State College and audio production under David Miles Huber and Scott Colburn at the University Of Washington. He has collaborated with many recording artists such as Mirah, Calvin Johnson, and Long Distance Poison. His 2011 remix of LAKE’s “Roger Miller” was awarded NPR song of the day. The music press has compared Shawn’s diverse offerings to artists ranging from Dan The Automator to film composer Alan Howarth . In 2013, with his partner Kimberly Henninger, Shawn formed Cathedral Sounds. Since then the duo have licensed material for advertisements, Non-Profits and written original score for feature films. Shawn lives in Portland Oregon and is a member of ASCAP & OMPA.
