The Planting
Earlier this year I provided music for a short film by Jason Goode. I was so happy to hear from Jason, the director, that that The Planting, will be shown at the Vancouver International Film Festival. Congrats to everyone involved!
I enjoyed working with this same team of film-makers once in the past when we collaborated on a clever and well-produced PSA about digital rights and piracy.

Peaceful Music
This simple peaceful track is the first I’m sharing from a collection of meditative stuff I’ve been working on. Its still rough and unmastered, but I think this one strikes the balance I’m looking for and I wanted to share it. Although I plan to include some much more ambient music in the finished collection, I want the backbone to be tracks like this: simple, melodic, mostly acoustic with a little bit of electronica mixed in, piano-based, and not too motionless. I’m sure everyone has their own preferences, but the music that I relax to has to have some sort of a narrative thread. I don’t mind a few moments of gentle driving energy… it just makes me appreciate the moments of rest all the more.
Anyway. Listen or do not listen.

Cloned
The past month has been a mess of fun busyness. I’m hoping to carve out some time in the next week or two to post excerpts from music that I created for short films, fashion, experimental film, in addition to some new experiments for the Corduroy portfolio. Fun. Fun fun fun.
Most recently, I created music for this groovy PSA from talented Vancouver-based filmmaker Dylan Jenkinson. Dylan orchestrated this collaboration across time and space with contributors scattered across North America. Its amazing what can be accomplished via internet these days.
This simple synthy score was written to play a gentle backup to the story of the film while adding a sense of irony, introspection, and momentum. Because PSAs are nearly always in danger of being laughably manipulative or didactic, my hope with this particular piece was to contribute music that was as subtle and thoughtful as the fine script and performances. The amusing storyline has comic elements with a serious punch-line… a fun balance to play with. Hoorah for everyone involved, this collaboration was lots of fun.
