I am always interested in working on good film and video projects, whether as composer, producer, editor, sound designer, or location recordist, or through licensing my existing work.
Winter's Bone — 2010, Roadside Attractions (
DVD released by Lion's Gate Films); directed by
Debra Granik. Award-winning feature film based on the novel by Daniel Woodrell. Set in the Missouri Ozarks, the soundtrack features great local folk and country musicians, and original score by
Dickon Hinchliffe (
Tindersticks). I did some post-production location recording, produced studio sessions with the local musicians, and produced the soundtrack album, which is
available on CD or as digital download. And a tiny excerpt of my piece
In Memory of the Four Winds was used in one scene to enhance the sound of a wood splitter.
With My Back to the World: Agnes Martin — 2002, New Deal Films; DVD; 57 minutes; directed by Mary Lance. An intimate portrait of the great American abstract painter Agnes Martin, made during her final years in Taos, New Mexico. I was honored to compose the score, as her work has been hugely influential to me. Some of the music was released on the
Occasional Music CD.
Gathering Up Again: Fiesta in Santa Fé — 1992, Quotidian Documentary Research; VHS (out of print)/DVD; 47 minutes; directed by Jeanette DeBouzek & Diane Reyna. I did location and post-production recording for this controversial doc about the oldest public celebration in the USA, revealing cross-cultural tensions that arise during this annual event honoring the "bloodless" reconquest of New Mexico.
