"Jay and Jon did a fantastic job on the Leap Frog Phonic Series Box Sets 1 and 2 and they showed a real passion and understanding for these books.

Their project management skills and music-sound effect creation was top notch! I look forward to working with them again soon in the coming weeks ahead!"

Mark Langman, Senior Audio Lead and Externals Manager, Leapfrog Toys

"Jon—Your music captured perfectly the feelings I was trying to convey when I wrote The Night Listener."

Armistead Maupin, Author, Performer, The Night Listener

"Jon: your compositions really reflected the tone and energy we wanted to convey in each film. It’s a pleasure to have received many compliments on the music you’ve written for us.”

Debra Chasnoff, Academy Award Winning Director, Deadly Deception, It’s Elementary, That’s A Family

"… is there any "serious" modern composer out there who writes music that is more fun to listen to than Jay Cloidt?"

SEQUENZA/21, The Contemporary Music Weekly (Chosen for “This Week's Spotlight”)

"Jon—Your creativity, understanding of story elements, and dedication to your craft make collaborating with you a pleasure. Thanks for another great score …"

Rick Goldsmith, Academy Award Nominated Director, Tell the Truth and Run and Everyday Heroes

"Cloidt's music is a kind of cross between P.D.Q. Bach and Jimi Hendrix, with a little Charles Ives thrown in … It's irresistible."

Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle

"Jay Cloidt is unfailingly reliable and has an ability to solve seemingly insurmountable problems and stay within schedules and budgets. His composing skills and sound and instrument design sparkle with whimsy and innovation. And besides all that, he's friendly, cooperative and fun to work with."

Judy Munsen, Composer, Project Manager, and former Director of Leapfrog Audio Dept.
