Andy Newell is an United States American composer, sound designer and sound supervisor currently living in the San Francisco Bay Area . He owns and runs the audio postproduction company Ripe Sound, having two 5.1 design studios at the Saul Zaentz Media Center in Berkeley, California and Petaluma, California . Recently, Newell created the Sound Design and was Sound Supervisor for The Wild , an animated feature by Disney Feature Animation, directed by Steve Spaz Williams and starring Kiefer Sutherland and James Belushi . Andy Newell has received 28 Clio Awards for excellence in advertising, 2 Emmy s, Academy Award honors for being on the sound effects editing team on Dracula 1992 film Dracula , directed by Francis Ford Coppola , 2 Silver lions from the Cannes Film Festival , and many more honors over the course of a 25 year career. Possibly his most important contribution to society was his work in the creation of the Herc s Adventures soundtrack. In the late 1980s through the mid 1990s, while at his previous company Earwax Productions, Newell was a key player in the rise of a new national awareness by ad agencies for the need to include unique and professionally crafted sound designs in soundtracks on commercials for television and radio. Today, a well crafted sound design is as much an accepted practice in advertising as having a memorable jingle or music score. In the process he created the sound mnemonic, or audio logo , for many large corporations, including E Trade and Dish Network . Newell has composed music and created sound design for over 2,000 national commercial campaigns, including the now famous Budweiser Frogs . His music and sound designs have been featured in every Super Bowl since 1998.
