Buddha-Bowl at Burning Man

I'm getting more excited as we get closer to Burning Man (end of Aug). The camp Ironica, will be hosting several events and workshops including several occurances of the Great Singing Buddha-Bowl Experiment. It should be bigger than ever before, and I am at once rather nervous as well as excited about how it might go.

So nice to be making a real contribution to BRC in this way.

Songs in F2L and other films

Songs are not my department. Someone else deals with them. I compose orginal music for the film and have no information about the songs.

If you need to find a song title, look at the credits at the very end of the film, and the last thing you see will be all the names and details of all the songs used in the film.

Good Luck.

End of Dupree and up to Reign!

Well it happens to everyone sooner or later, so I am told, and on Dupree it happened to me. The score was recorded and everyone was happy. Then 2 weeks pass and it is deemed that the score is too different to the temp score that was used during test previews (though no one actually watched the film with the score). The music is then replaced. Ah well. Jerry Goldsmith once said no one can really call themself a film composer till they have had a score tossed, so I guess I can regard this as some kind of graduation.

I am now on a beautiful film called Reign O'er Me. It is Mike Binder's new work, and it is touching and human and a delight to work on. Small intimate sensibilities pervade the film and the score. It's a magical and compassionate movie, and feels really good to me. Recording in September.
