ORIGINAL MUSIC, SOUND EDIT + MIX FOR SHORT DOCUMENTARY: "UGANDA GOLD"

I’m happy to have contributed an original musical score (also featured in the trailer above) as well as sound edit and final mix to the short documentary “Uganda Gold”, directed by J.D. O’Brien. The short premieres at the film’s Facebook page on Sunday, March 29th at 7PM CST. Check it out!

In a country where 30% of the population doesn’t have access to clean water, drilling a sustainable well is like striking gold. “Uganda Gold” tells the story of Ugandans’ struggle to fulfill this basic need for their community.

ORIGINAL MUSIC FOR "DREAM COUNTY": EXQUISITE EUPHONIUM PERFORMANCE

Most of my music and sound these days is synched with something on some screen or other, but every once in a while I’m tempted back into theater work like a retired gunfighter called in to take out one last man. Sam Landman’s original play “Dream County” opens this coming Thursday at the Twin Cities Horror Festival. Thanks to Kevin’s generous loan of his euphonium, I was able to capture the refined, graceful tone of the show for a fanfare cue. I’d also like to mention that I’m available for session work, if you think you can afford me. More info on “Dream County”: http://www.tchorrorfestival.com/dream-county.htm

“Some people recall watching Cousin Clem's Magical Couch Fort every Saturday morning as kids. Others have never seen an episode, claiming the tragic series finale is nothing but urban myth. Somewhere between real and imaginary lies Dream County, a whimsical world where Cousin Clem would hide away in. We present the finale as it supposedly happened.”

MUSIC FOR FILM: "AFTER THE GUNFLINT"

One of the new pieces of original music I’ve been developing for After the Gunflint, a wilderness survival film directed by JD O'Brien. The creative brief: “deconstructed bluegrass”. It’ll probably be deconstructed a lot further from this point, but we like where it’s going so far.
