Current/recent:
I played on the score to a film called
The Lincoln Lawyer- It comes out 3/18/11 in North America. The composer was Cliff Martinez, who's great to work with and makes really evocative music- I was a fan of his work on the Solaris remake and Traffic before we met. We worked together briefly once before, on a small documentary called
Severe Clear, though on that project I provided textures via the internet rather than in-person sessions. I contributed processed guitar to the score.
I also played on one of the last episodes of the TV series "
Big Love", which I've worked on in the past (as followers of this blog may know) and is just about to reach the end of its run. It was one of the first times I've used my new electric upright bass on a session, and we got some very good stuff.
I'd like to do something I pretty much never do here: Mention (endorse?) a specific product. I'm a big user of Alessandro Petrolati's
Density 2; It's a gem. There, I said it.
Vague references to exciting things:
There is a very interesting new musical collaboration in the offing at the moment, but I don't want to get more specific than that just now...Suffice it to say that something great is very likely to result if this situation materializes the way it seems to be. More later.
On another front, I'm designing an iPad app that is being coded and implemented by a small group of very accomplished, talented friends. It's a recording tool which I hope will help facilitate the creative process for a lot of musicians. Details as we get closer to the release date.
Last thing I'll mention for now,
Jon Hassell's "
Last Night The Moon Came Dropping Its Clothes In The Street" (ECM 2077) was recently released in Europe as a double album on 180-gram audiophile vinyl. I think it may be destined for wider worldwide release as well. As I mentioned when the original CD was released awhile back, I'm proud of this record and the added bonus of seeing it in my favorite format is a nice development.
