Jason and Nolan's employed assistantship with composer Lee Sanders for CBS Television's "The Amazing Race" opened the door to many working relationships in the film industry. Since that time, the twins have composed for Dreamworks, Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, 20th Century Fox, MGM, Warner Brothers, FoxFaith Films, Nickelodeon, ABC, CBS, FOX, History Channel, E!, Discovery Channel and MTV, winning a Gold Classic Telly Award for "Best Music" and the Director's Choice GOLD AWARD for "Best Impact of Music in a Feature Film" at the Park City Film Music Festival. They have over 50 film and television credits, including additional music for JAC Redford's score for "One Night with the King" starring Peter O'Toole, electronic programming for Disney/Pixar's "Burn-e", orchestrations for John Ottman (Superman Returns, X-Men 2) on the animated feature "Astro Boy" starring Nicolas Cage and Donald Sutherland, orchestrations and conducting for Ottman's recent score for "The Resident" starring Hilary Swank, orchestrations for the upcoming Ottman score for "Unknown White Male" starring Liam Neeson, and original music for several major motion picture trailers. Jason and Nolan both holds conducting positions with the Golden State Pops Orchestra, and have premiered their own original concert works with the Lake Avenue Chamber Orchestra, the Sonus Quartet, the Golden State Pops Orchestra, the APU Symphony Orchestra, and the Michael Skidgel Singers.

As violinists, Jason & Nolan have performed with many regional orchestras, including the Lake Avenue Chamber Orchestra, the Redlands Symphony, the San Bernardino Symphony, the Torrance Symphony, the YMF Debut Orchestra, the Golden State Pops Orchestra, and also work freelance for recording sessions.
