Composer/Producer David Schmoll began working as a full-time professional musician in 1978. In 1996, he took a deep dive into music for comedy, and found a whole new way of thinking about how music works. During a 12-year stint as Musical Director of Boom Chicago, he met and began working with writer/actor/comedienne Amber Ruffin, and their collaboration remains ongoing.

After co-writing and producing countless songs for Amber to sing on Late Night With Seth Meyers, 3 seasons of working as Musical Director of The Amber Ruffin Show, Schmoll launched a solo project, composing and producing atmospheric ambient music under the brand name das ambient works.

Schmoll’s latest collaboration, with Amber Ruffin and Kevin Sciretta - Bigfoot The Musical - has been produced in Las Vegas and Austin, and recently had a staged reading with an allstar cast at “Broadway’s Livingroom,” 54 Below.
