November Spawned a Monster

Hi. Its been almost a month since I wrote on here, so I wanted to explain what nonsense I have been up to that has put more important things, like blog posting, on the back-burner all November.

First of all, I have been cranking away sound design and mixing on one short film after another, as the festival season is here. Some of these films include a short starring Elijah Wood for Last Pictures, a hilarious and talented film company. Its called Boobie. I also worked on a film starring James Franco and Holmes Osborn called Solitary/Release, directed by the brilliant Holden Osborne. Finally, of note is a film called Signal From Shore, a film by kind bud Peter Flaherty written and directed in South Korea.

On the musical tip, A new Hiss Golden Messenger record is brewing. It will be a vinyl and download only release. Inspired by such live masterpieces as Europe '72, the record captures a creamy live performance from a stellar personnel line-up at the top of their game at the WNYC studios on Varick St. in NYC.

Family Band is playing a few shows also this December, with the first one on the 5th at the Petri Space in Brooklyn, details here.

Also- I am in the process of uploading a bunch of my own jams to soundcloud. Do yourself a favor and take a mellow listen.

Finally, some images to inspire:
