Peter Schickele is a renowned American composer. Inspired by the music of Spike Jones, as a young teenager, he also studied composition and music history at Juilliard. After graduating from Juilliard he asked himself what in the world he was going to do with a PhD in music history, and proceeded to rewrite it (history, that is) by discovering works by Johann Sebastian Bach's heretofore unknown 21st child, "last and by far the least", "a pimple on the face of music", P.D.Q. Bach. PDQ's music had its first public performance in 1965, and lectures by "Professor Schickele" (of the University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople, or "U of SND at H" for short) have delighted audiences ever since. Although the first ten PDQ Bach albums on Vanguard hold his most inspired work, only his latest five albums (on Telarc) have earned him proper recognition, with four of the five winning Grammy Awards in comedy. In 1993 he stopped touring with PDQ Bach to devote himself more fully to 'real' composing (which he's done all along, in spite of the spectre of PDQ Bach which often resulted in even his most serious work eliciting laughter) and his radio show "Schickele Mix". His weekly show (of which there have been 168 episodes) features an eclectic mix of music from many cultures and centuries; he's perfectly happy to illustrate a musical point using a "suite" that combines music of seeming opposites: Bach and the Beatles; Heavy Metal bands and Classical string quartets. You can find him on the radio or in New York City every week after Christmas performing P.D.Q. Bach at Carnegie Hall or Lincoln Center.- Wally Bruner was born on 4 March 1931 in Ames, Iowa, USA. He was a producer, known for Wally's Workshop (1972), What's My Line? (1968) and He Said, She Said (1969). He was married to Natalie Bruner and Patricia Ray Thomas. He died on 3 November 1997 in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.

For nine years Garman worked in Asia, having bases in Hong Kong, Taipei, Beijing, Bangkok and Singapore. Most notable were his property development commercials for the Muang Thong Thani Industrial Estate and The Land and House Company in Bangkok. Garman worked a year each at Iloura Post Production (Thailand) and Kantana Company Limited before returning to his own business, Spin Limited, which relocated to Singapore in 1995. On the heels of the 1997 Asian Economic Recession, Garman returned to his hometown in Iowa where he worked on the "A Bug's Life Active Play" at EAI, Ames IA.
In 1999 Garman worked on his first Hollywood feature "O Brother Where Art Thou" at Digital Domain, then "X-Men", "The Time Machine", "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Stealth". At Sony Pictures Imageworks Garman worked on "Cast Away" and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." Later Garman would work for Imageworks again at their Albuquerque studio on "The Green Lantern" and at Digital Domain's Vancouver studio on "The Watch" and "Ender's Game." (See full list of feature films.)
Garman has returned often to China to teach and work as CG Supervisor at Technicolor Beijing, BaseFX, Beijing and Versatile, Hangzhou.
Between features Garman taught visual effects at the Savannah College of Design in Savannah Georgia from January 2002 through March 2003. He has also taught at the University of Texas at Dallas, The Gnomon School in Hollywood, and operated his online school VizyAcky from 2006 to 2014.
