| 1. Over the course of my life, I've spent thousands of hours playing musical instruments, writing music, and working as a recording engineer and record producer. My favorite projects are the ones which allow me the freedom to exercise all of these skills simultaneously. For me, inevitably, this has led to an attraction to making music for picture. A few years ago, after hearing from a number of sources about a movie we shouldn't miss, The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill, my wife, Michele, and I watched it. We were both mesmerized by the film. There were many things I really liked about it, but the thing that impressed me most was the quality of the filmmaking the effortless, economical, organic and forthright storytelling. I've had a couple of minor Hollywood film scoring gigs, but mostly I've found it nearly impossible to get film scoring gigs. Here though, with The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill filmmaker Judy Irving being local, and with the film being so unHollywood, I thought why not try to contact her and offer my music up to her for future possibiities? So I did. I sent her my first solo album, Slider—Ambient Excursions for Pedal Steel Guitar. Months went by. Being no stranger to rejection, I had pretty much forgotten about having sent Judy the album, when one day she contacted me and asked if it would be okay if she used a track in a film she was working on. If I recall correctly, she indicated that she had "temp'd" and that she liked how it was working. That piece was Arc of Flight. The film was about pelicans. Of course I said yes! |
