Here’s a fun and frightening little slideshow for The Little Red Ball’s adventure at the Asbury Park Zombie Walk last weekend. I had a zombie blast doing the music for it!

Have a safe and fun Halloween, and don’t forget to brush your teeth afterward!

Oy, another month goes quickly by. I’ve been very busy working on some other musical projects lately – most notably composing music for a murder mystery musical by the ultra-talented Joey Madia – and so I have neglected this space once again. I promise to get better.

In the meantime, there’s a song and a video up there that I made for the world-traveling Little Red Ball…I hope you enjoy it!

I was very excited when my friend Ellen Luckett Baker asked me to do the music for the trailer of her new book 1, 2, 3 Sew. She’s amazingly talented and imaginative, and discusses really cool crafty things at her blog, The Long Thread. Plus, we like a lot of the same kinds of music, so I knew it would be a fun project.

The book trailer is above, as is the song in mp3 format that you can download and keep in your sewing basket for quick access whenever you need accompaniment for your spontaneous dancing. Ellen’s doing a giveaway of her book, but hurry as you’ll need to enter by this Saturday, June 18. If you run with a sewing crowd, please feel free to share this information (and the video!) wherever you feel appropriate.

And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention to you that I absolutely love doing this sort of thing, so if you’ve got a project that needs music – whether whimsical, sinister, or sedate – please contact me. I am, after all, your man (as Leonard would say).

Here’s the video for The Little Red Ball that the Meet Me at the Gulf of Mexico song was used in. The pictrues were taken mostly in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach AL, with a couple thrown in from the Pensacola FL airport.

Above is a promotional trailer for the wonderful film MHz (Megahertz) from Jordan Graye and Anam Cara Productions. If you’ve been following along here, you’re probably aware that the movie’s about Nikola Tesla and troubled disc jockey Brigh Montgomery as they unravel their tangled energies in an otherworldly dimension.

As well as paying respect and homage to the eccentric Tesla, the film explores themes of energy and forgiveness, and the effects they have on ourselves and others. Quite thought-provoking really, and enlightening if you’re curious about the science of physics in a spiritually lit sort of way. The film’s making the festival circuit now, so it’s not available outside of that world yet, but a website has been established at teslaflick.com and I encourage you to keep your eye on it.

If you’re curious, I edited the trailer using iMovie (which comes standard on every new Apple computer, meaning you could do this sort of thing yourself if you wanted) and scored it using Logic Pro (not standard on every Mac, but it’s a more robust version of Garageband, which is included with every Mac, so again…you could be doing this sort of thing as well if you wanted).

Here’s a little player if you’d like to listen to my full score for the film. Please feel free to download it in its entirety for free, and as always, sharing with friends is appreciated!
