About Karen Frazier
Living in a WWII-era apartment in her early 20s where very strange things happened on a regular basis set Karen Frazier on a lifelong search for answers about the unexplained. Since then, Karen has sought out paranormal experiences in order to better understand the things that we can’t see or explain.
Karen is a reporter and the Managing Editor for Paranormal Underground Magazine.
In that capacity, she has investigated and written about a number of paranormal and
scientific phenomena including reincarnation, quantum physics, near-death

including noted UFOlogist Stanton T. Friedman, Ghost Adventures Zak Bagans, ITC

Our 2nd guest was the incomparable Shawn K Clement well known composer of TV and feature films.
From TV to film to videogames, Shawn Clement has established himself as a multi-faceted composer in a wide variety of genres and styles. Clement grew up in Massachusetts, studied at Berklee College of Music, and moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of composing for film and television – writing music to picture.
Fairly quickly, Clement’s career became fast-paced and he built a resume of over 200 credits. In that time, Clement created the musical foundation for the voyeuristic world of reality TV before the phenomena saturated the air waves. Starting with some of reality TV’s original series, such as WORLD’S WILDEST POLICE VIDEOS, to AMERICAN IDOL and SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, he will continue to set the tone for years to come.
In recognition of his definitive style and accomplishments, ASCAP presented Clement with a Film and Television Music Award for Most Performed Underscore. Clement’s most notable TV series, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, came in the midst of his reality TV period. The acclaimed cult series proved that his talents extend beyond the genre of reality TV. Clement translated his musical palette into the world of videogames, again ahead of the curve. His music has set the gaming tone for hit titles including Sony’s OPEN SEASON, Electronic Arts’ THE SIMS 2 and BATMAN: VENGEANCE for Warner Bros.
Clement segued into film with WE MARRIED MARGO (winner of the Audience Favorite Award at the HBO/U.S. Comedy & Arts Festival), and LAST CHANCE (winner of Best Original Drama at World Fest). Clement has returned to his roots in sci-fi, one of his favorite genres, for his recent film project QUANTUM QUEST. QUANTUM QUEST boasts an all-star cast, a STAR WARS meets STAR TREK extravaganza that includes sci-fi film icons Chris Pine, Samuel L. Jackson, Hayden Christensen, Amanda Peet, Robert Picardo, Brent Spiner, James Earl Jones, William Shatner, Mark Hamill, and Astronaut Neil Armstrong. He recorded his original score for QUANTUM QUEST at George Lucas’ legendary Skywalker Ranch in April with an 82-piece orchestra. The score was nominated for “Best Original Score” at the 2009 Hollywood Music In Media Awards. In Movie Score Magazine’s “Top 10 Most Anticipated Film Scores of 2010”, Clement’s QUANTUM QUEST score earned the prestigious recognition of “keeping an eye (and ear) on.” QUANTUM QUEST premieres in theaters in early 2010 accompanied by a soundtrack release of his epic score.
2010 is off to an exhilarating start for Clement with the first feature film of a three-picture deal set to begin in January; the releases of indie feature films, PLAY ON and FINALE, which will also see a soundtrack release. Clement has also enthusiastically signed on to score the upcoming feature film currently in-development, SINBAD: THE FIFTH VOYAGE, as well as the comedy western JOHNSON & JOHNSON on which he is also an Executive Producer. Clement is also an Executive Producer of MASTERS OF SOUND, a music-themed television series currently in pre-production.
