S.C. – with Orchestra in Sydney, AUS (UNRELEASED)

Had the great pleasure to produce, arrange, and start to mix a full length with one of my all-time favorite artists. For the sake of secrecy I will not divulge details, but please enjoy these clips and do not share – recorded between Sydney and Berlin with members of the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Sydney Orchestra.

Travel Poems

Produced, recorded and mixed this 30-track album with Eric Pan, an incredible pianist and composer. We used 11 different pianos and Rhodes in Berlin and NYC to find the ideal sounds for each concept. The instrumentation is piano, found sounds, and jazz trio. Visit travelpoems.com for more info, and find two unreleased tracks below:

House on the Hill

Composed and recorded this score for string quartet, acoustic guitar, and whistling, with performances by Tamsin of the band “Wilsen”. We used a theme from her beautiful song “House on a Hill” for some of the score, and the vocal is heard in the film at one point.

Audio Production

Bad Marriage

Played as keyboardist and co-composed music with the band “Bad Marriage”, a band made up of members of Wild Child, Phox, Snowmine, and Sun Nectar. Mixed three tracks for The Wild Honey Pie “On the Mountain” series. ‘

Performance

Hockey

Toured as music director and keyboardist for Hockey, an NYC-based band formerly signed to Capitol Records and Virgin Records. We toured for 11 weeks throughout the year 2013.

Composition

My Sister Sarah

I composed the score for this beautiful and poignant documentary (winner of many festival awards) about a sister’s struggles with addiction to meth and crack cocaine. The director, Elizabeth Chatelain, was interested in nostalgic, dark, somewhat folky instrumentation. The film is not yet published on youtube but below you will find the first cue at the beginning of the film, and the soundtrack.

About A Worker

Composed brand theme for About a Worker, a Paris-based fashion brand working to teach factory workers to become designers, expressing their own vision of the fashion industry.

The music has three main components: factory sounds that I recorded onsite at Mode Estime  factory which were built into a custom synth patch in Kontakt, a drone constructed with slowed-down and filtered factory sounds, and a classical piano element. The theme is designed to feel like a sewing machine itself, representing the repetitive nature of the needle in the fabric and the parallel repetition of the lives of the workers, who in many parts of the world are overworked and underpaid.

–I did not record the voice over, just composed and recorded the music–

Markup

Markup: Image Alignment

Welcome to image alignment! The best way to demonstrate the ebb and flow of the various image positioning options is to nestle them snuggly among an ocean of words. Grab a paddle and let’s get started.

On the topic of alignment, it should be noted that users can choose from the options of None, Left, Right, and Center. In addition, they also get the options of Thumbnail, Medium, Large & Fullsize.

Image Alignment 580x300

The image above happens to be centered.

Image Alignment 150x150The rest of this paragraph is filler for the sake of seeing the text wrap around the 150×150 image, which is left aligned. 

As you can see the should be some space above, below, and to the right of the image. The text should not be creeping on the image. Creeping is just not right. Images need breathing room too. Let them speak like you words. Let them do their jobs without any hassle from the text. In about one more sentence here, we’ll see that the text moves from the right of the image down below the image in seamless transition. Again, letting the do it’s thang. Mission accomplished!

And now for a massively large image. It also has no alignment.

Image Alignment 1200x400

The image above, though 1200px wide, should not overflow the content area. It should remain contained with no visible disruption to the flow of content.

Image Alignment 300x200

And now we’re going to shift things to the right align. Again, there should be plenty of room above, below, and to the left of the image. Just look at him there… Hey guy! Way to rock that right side. I don’t care what the left aligned image says, you look great. Don’t let anyone else tell you differently.

In just a bit here, you should see the text start to wrap below the right aligned image and settle in nicely. There should still be plenty of room and everything should be sitting pretty. Yeah… Just like that. It never felt so good to be right.

And just when you thought we were done, we’re going to do them all over again with captions!

Image Alignment 580x300
Look at 580×300 getting some caption love.

The image above happens to be centered. The caption also has a link in it, just to see if it does anything funky.

Image Alignment 150x150
Itty-bitty caption.

The rest of this paragraph is filler for the sake of seeing the text wrap around the 150×150 image, which is left aligned. 

As you can see the should be some space above, below, and to the right of the image. The text should not be creeping on the image. Creeping is just not right. Images need breathing room too. Let them speak like you words. Let them do their jobs without any hassle from the text. In about one more sentence here, we’ll see that the text moves from the right of the image down below the image in seamless transition. Again, letting the do it’s thang. Mission accomplished!

And now for a massively large image. It also has no alignment.

Image Alignment 1200x400
Massive image comment for your eyeballs.

The image above, though 1200px wide, should not overflow the content area. It should remain contained with no visible disruption to the flow of content.

Image Alignment 300x200
Feels good to be right all the time.

And now we’re going to shift things to the right align. Again, there should be plenty of room above, below, and to the left of the image. Just look at him there… Hey guy! Way to rock that right side. I don’t care what the left aligned image says, you look great. Don’t let anyone else tell you differently.

In just a bit here, you should see the text start to wrap below the right aligned image and settle in nicely. There should still be plenty of room and everything should be sitting pretty. Yeah… Just like that. It never felt so good to be right.

And that’s a wrap, yo! You survived the tumultuous waters of alignment. Image alignment achievement unlocked!

Markup

Markup: Text Alignment

Default

This is a paragraph. It should not have any alignment of any kind. It should just flow like you would normally expect. Nothing fancy. Just straight up text, free flowing, with love. Completely neutral and not picking a side or sitting on the fence. It just is. It just freaking is. It likes where it is. It does not feel compelled to pick a side. Leave him be. It will just be better that way. Trust me.

Left Align

This is a paragraph. It is left aligned. Because of this, it is a bit more liberal in it’s views. It’s favorite color is green. Left align tends to be more eco-friendly, but it provides no concrete evidence that it really is. Even though it likes share the wealth evenly, it leaves the equal distribution up to justified alignment.

Center Align

This is a paragraph. It is center aligned. Center is, but nature, a fence sitter. A flip flopper. It has a difficult time making up its mind. It wants to pick a side. Really, it does. It has the best intentions, but it tends to complicate matters more than help. The best you can do is try to win it over and hope for the best. I hear center align does take bribes.

Right Align

This is a paragraph. It is right aligned. It is a bit more conservative in it’s views. It’s prefers to not be told what to do or how to do it. Right align totally owns a slew of guns and loves to head to the range for some practice. Which is cool and all. I mean, it’s a pretty good shot from at least four or five football fields away. Dead on. So boss.

Justify Align

This is a paragraph. It is justify aligned. It gets really mad when people associate it with Justin Timberlake. Typically, justified is pretty straight laced. It likes everything to be in it’s place and not all cattywampus like the rest of the aligns. I am not saying that makes it better than the rest of the aligns, but it does tend to put off more of an elitist attitude.

Sun Nectar – LITT//LTYL

This is a cover / mash up of Son Lux’s “Lost it to Trying” and James Blake’s “Limit to Your Love” released August 2014. Inspired by the lyrics of both songs, combined they convey a message of finding the limit to the love shared between lovers, and failing to overcome said love because of trying too hard. Or maybe it is about cats.

The string quartet was performed by Rebekah Durham, Tomoko Akaboshi, Laura Sacks, and Courtney Kaita. Drums by Dave Scalia, bass Christian Carpenter recorded by Brian Trahan and Harper James at Degraw Sound in Park Slope, Brooklyn.                                                                                                                                                      `

Butterfly Assassins – Sylvia

Credits: Songwriter, producer, add’l recording engineer, piano, organ, trumpet, aux percussion, vox.

This was my personal project growing up – Butterfly Assassins was my Chicago-based “Chicago rock” band, which went on multiple midwestern and east coast tours, playing Chicago venues such as House of Blues, Metro, and Shubas Tavern with bands including Hanson, Girl Talk, Company of Thieves, Wax on Radio, Plain White T’s, This is me Smiling, etc. Fuuuu-uuunnn! Learned a ton, worked with amazing engineers at Gravity Studios, Shirk Music and Sound, and United Technique Studios, and mixing engineer Ed Stasium (The Ramones, Mick Jagger, Freddy Mercury).

This project involved a fair amount of arranging for strings, tenor sax, vocals, and trumpet.

Farewell Republic – Burn the Boats

Credits: Producer, co-songwriter, recording engineer, piano, hammond organ, synths, vocals.

This record was recorded by me and Michael Coffman, the sound designer of Mother New York, and we were going for “big but unique”. We spent 10 days in the Chrome Attic, a massive studio in Crystal Lake, IL, and we pushed the studio to its limits… we used almost every vintage amplifier, keyboard, and outboard unit they had, did all major tracking live, and overall had an extremely smooth and solid session. The remainder of the parts were recorded over the next month in my home studio.

I orchestrated a couple of the tunes for the band – “For Your Health” features a lo-fi thirteen-piece chamber ensemble. Interesting fact: due to dwindling budgets, it was recorded in a small apartment with only 3 microphones. I’ve provided a small sample, and the full score is below.

Amy Cova – A Very Fast Man in a…

Credits: Composer, live performance (piano, processed vocals, computer).

For this dance project, I composed a 30-minute piece which I performed solo live on piano, processed vocal, and computer using Logic Pro 9 and Ableton Live.   The performance took place at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, 2012, on August 22nd.

This piece was a ball of joy – working with Amy Cova and her wonderful dance crew was smooth and magic… it felt like we were constantly in awe of each other. My first assignment for this project was to read the novel “Born to Run” by Christopher McDougall. The book details the lives and customs of a native tribe in Mexico called the Tarahumara, the most shocking of which is an occassional 50-100 mile casual run over and around steep and treacherous mountains, after a night of heavy drinking and dance. The craziest part is that they do that in sandals, and don’t get injured.

The piece is inspired by the effects of running on the mind, the way long runs lull us into a drone-like state of peace and the way stress seems to melt and reform into energy that pulses through the body. The first excerpt occurs right around the 0:14 minute mark, where a trio of dancers are moving in unison. The final excerpt occurs at the end of the piece.

University of Michigan CRLT Theater Program – Institutional Change,…

Credits: Recording (live) and mixing engineer, arranger, producer, co-music director, pianist.

With the University of Michigan Center for Research on Learning and Teaching, I had the pleasure of working with talented artistic director Jeffrey Steiger on constructing, arranging, and performing the music for “Institutional Change, The Musical”. The purpose of the musical was to raise questions among provost, faculty, and staff members, as well as students, about how their education system is currently functioning and how it could be improved. The process went something like this:

-Jeffrey would write lyrics and music on his guitar, and sing rough ideas to me.

-Using his songs, we would then negotiate progressions and melodies that conveyed his message and were musically effective.

-Together we would teach the music to the singers and other musicians. (That said, brilliant cellist Courtney Kaita wrote most of her own parts).

-We would take the show on the road, traveling to Alabama, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan to perform for the faculty and staff of various universities.

At every performance, I was amazed at the level of engagement of the audience and the conversations that followed. It really felt like issues were surfacing that had not been previously discussed, and hearing the chair, faculty, and staff all speaking to each other without the hierarchy getting in the way and working things out was always my favorite part.

Quite an incredible experience!!

All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, “Oh, why can’t you remain like this for ever!” This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end.

Abbott: Strange as it may seem, they give ball players nowadays very peculiar names.

Costello: Funny names?

Abbott: Nicknames, nicknames. Now, on the St. Louis team we have Who’s on first, What’s on second, I Don’t Know is on third–

Costello: That’s what I want to find out. I want you to tell me the names of the fellows on the St. Louis team.

Abbott: Every dollar of it. And why not, the man’s entitled to it.

Costello: Who is?

Abbott: Yes.

Costello: So who gets it?

Abbott: Why shouldn’t he? Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it.

Costello: Who’s wife?

Abbott: Yes. After all, the man earns it.

Costello: Who does?

Abbott: Absolutely.

Costello: Well, all I’m trying to find out is what’s the guy’s name on first base?

Abbott: Oh, no, no. What is on second base.

Costello: I’m not asking you who’s on second.

Abbott: Who’s on first!

Costello: St. Louis has a good outfield?

Abbott: Oh, absolutely.

Costello: The left fielder’s name?

Abbott: Why.

Costello: I don’t know, I just thought I’d ask.

Abbott: Well, I just thought I’d tell you.

Costello: Then tell me who’s playing left field?

Abbott: Who’s playing first.

Costello: Stay out of the infield! The left fielder’s name?

Abbott: Why.

Costello: Because.

Abbott: Oh, he’s center field.

Costello: Wait a minute. You got a pitcher on this team?

Abbott: Wouldn’t this be a fine team without a pitcher?

Costello: Tell me the pitcher’s name.

Abbott: Tomorrow.

Costello: Now, when the guy at bat bunts the ball–me being a good catcher–I want to throw the guy out at first base, so I pick up the ball and throw it to who?

Abbott: Now, that’s he first thing you’ve said right.

Costello: I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!

Abbott: Don’t get excited. Take it easy.

Costello: I throw the ball to first base, whoever it is grabs the ball, so the guy runs to second. Who picks up the ball and throws it to what. What throws it to I don’t know. I don’t know throws it back to tomorrow–a triple play.

Abbott: Yeah, it could be.

Costello: Another guy gets up and it’s a long ball to center.

Abbott: Because.

Costello: Why? I don’t know. And I don’t care.

Abbott: What was that?

Costello: I said, I DON’T CARE!

Abbott: Oh, that’s our shortstop!
