KEEP DULUTH CLEAN: CUSTOM MUSIC, SOUND EDIT + MIX FOR PSA
Duluth-based animator Brian Barber brought me aboard to compose original music, edit sound and mix this PSA for the Keep Duluth Clean project, a collaboration between Loll Designs and Flint Group. I cooked up an original music track (more on that below) and augmented Brian’s sound effects with some of my own— for the pop cans thrown into the waste basket, I eventually wound up recording an aluminum can bouncing off the two-wheel cart in my storage space, since (surprisingly) I couldn’t find the right kind of metal-on-metal impact in my library. Oh, and the guy yelling “Ain’t that the truth!” toward the beginning is me.
Below: a music-only rendition of the project. The creative direction asked for bossa nova— Esquivel came up— but the reference tracks provided were things like Henry Mancini’s “The Baby Elephant Walk” and “Why Wait” by Perez Prado, so I figured we wanted something kitschy that would match the whimsy of Barber’s characters and settings, but a bit more “square” than Esquivel per se.
A couple of minor revisions on both the audio and visual ends, and we were good to go. A quick and easy project. Good times.

"TURNOUT" TEASER IS HERE
I’ve recently had the honor of engineering voiceover, editing FX, and mixing the animated short “Turnout”, written and directed by animator Michael Van Swearingen and produced by Foreign Fauna. Characters were voiced by Sam Landman and Clarence Wethern.
Here’s the teaser trailer— which, to be clear, contains almost none of my work except for a very brief sound effect I chose right at the end:
The plot: Tobin and Sven are street artists involved in a shady lifestyle as middlemen. On their way to drop off an unmarked bag, they’re forced to evade arrest and a split second decision alters their future.
We’re excited for this little film to start making its way out into the world. We’re hoping it screens at a festival near you soon!
