new scores from asimplesound.com
2007 has been very busy so far composing and recording new scores for dance and film projects.........
last week we finished five new shorts for a documentary on green party canidate for senate, carl romanelli. the film is hoping for a spot in the philadelphia film festival. we have just finished a new score for tim cowart and the students at desales university. the piece was about the social destruction of hurricane katrina on the south, as well as, the rest of the country. a new score for dancer/ choreographer heather mcardle was performed during fresh tracks 2007 at dtw. other scores where completed for students in florida, california and many other places throughout the states. we are always looking to find new ways of working remotely with collaborators. here is an example of a way we work with long distance projects....

the company is everythingsmaller, a group of very talented dancers that we have been writing for for 4 years. the rehearsal footage was captured on a digital video camera...transferred to imovie...the music was composed...delivered to the dance company...added to the video and posted onto youtube.com. this gave the company a clear idea of how the music was timed to the movement, which in turn allowed everythingsmaller to work fast to get their show ready. we where able to get a full-length show together, about 30 minutes of music, in less than a week. the performance was a success.
