After signing on with Kathy Anaya, at that time with Lippman Entertainment in Los Angeles, in 1994, he began attracting more high-profile clients. [3]

His first solo album called Demos of Saturn, originally released in the mid-1990s under the name Ajax Ray-O-Vaque, quickly sold out its initial production run and was only intermittently available on eBay until its release on iTunes in 2009.[4]

Resta received his 12th RIAA Gold and Platinum certification for his programming and production work in the soundtrack of the successful Twilight films.[5]

At the Indie Short Fest, Los Angeles International Film Festival, August 2022, Resta received the award, Best Original Score for the indie short film “The Chair.” [6]

Current career Edit

Resta spent years working with engineer Karyadi Sutedja at studio Bopnique Musique in an old textile mill just west of Boston. The 4,000-square-foot (370 m2) studio is full of vintage recording equipment from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, as well as high end modern recording gear. All of the vintage gear (and Karyadi) have been moved to Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, where Resta continues to revolutionize recording in a nicer climate.
