Push it. Shape it. Take it from classic to completely new.

EastWest set out to create something extraordinary: a virtual instrument that would authentically capture the sound of the synthesizers that shaped modern music.

To do it, they brought in Anthony Marinelli — legendary programmer behind Michael Jackson’s Thriller — along with his personal collection of historic synths. Recording inside Studio 1 at EastWest Studios, the team combined pristine modern recording techniques with analog tape warmth and vintage outboard gear.

The result was ICONIC, a virtual instrument built from synthesizers that were actually used on some of the most famous tracks ever recorded.

From the golden age of analog to today’s digital composers — it all comes from EastWest Studios.

In the late 1960s, as the era of color television dawned, Hawaii Five-0 creator Leonard Freeman commissioned composer Morton Stevens to craft a theme worthy of a groundbreaking new series.

After immersing himself in the spirit of Hawaii, Stevens returned to Los Angeles and recorded the theme inside what is now EastWest Studios. Conducting the CBS Orchestra — with Wrecking Crew saxophonist Tom Scott, engineer Ted Keep, and producer Mel Taylor — Stevens captured a bold, driving sound that would define the show and transcend television.

The Hawaii Five-0 theme became one of the most recognizable TV themes in history, influencing covers, adaptations, and performances across generations.
A cultural landmark, recorded inside EastWest Studios.
