This is a piece I worked on years ago back in school. There were a lot of frustrations and concessions made and at the time that we finished it I was fairly disappointed with the results. Now, however, a thousand+ days removed, I can look at this and appreciate some pretty cool stuff going on.
This is also the first music-for-media piece that Micah and I collaborated on. We created a cacophony of chaos in the first scene with samples of old Johnny Carson reruns, MIA, the Smiths, car horns, street drummers, and so on, with a lot of that audio captured on the streets of NYC. In the second scene, we did some pretty cool stuff with a bowed electric guitar, a boumbek, and some bells—the last two were reversed in the mixing to create some interesting sounds.
Anyways, check it out. I wouldn’t necessarily classify it as an “easy watch” but hopefully it will be worth your time. Let me know what you think.
