FILM SCORING + KEEPING BUSY IN THE STUDIO

 

Since the completion of the latest Song-A-Week series, hosted by OPB (Oregon Public Broadcasting) in April which produced twenty-five new songs in twenty-one consecutive weeks, busyness has ensued.

 

Local Portland, OR indie filmmaker Jon Garcia has been working on his new movie called Tandem Hearts which I’ve been writing material for and even have a bit part playing myself.

 

Work has also been continuing on the new release due out in early 2010 to be titled “Champion Of The Noisy Negativists”.  More information regarding that project will be available soon.
