Patchwork Parade Pitch Perfect For Promise Project

MUSICAL SWISS ARMY KNIFE, THE YAMAHA PSR-E413

Earlier, we released the details and an early tracklisting for a new soundtracking project called "Cleaning To The Cloudbursts" that was taking place in the background the last while on an independent film shot in Los Angeles called Goodbye Promise. Like our Scarlet Ending videos, the film was funded via Kickstarter donations and director David Branin updated the investors on the project's progress. In part, regarding our involvement:

Our composer CJ Wallis really has done a masterful job with our original score. Many of these songs stand out on their own. Just writing these words, I had to open up one of CJ’s tracks and I am now listening as I write. We have laid most of CJ’s work onto the timeline.   

Is it okay to say that we are just as excited for you to hear CJ’s music as we are for you to see the film? If you missed the last update, here is a sneak preview (http://bit.ly/k6sVNn) of one of CJ’s original tracks entitled “Patchwork Parade.”

You can check out David's entire update here. Another advanced track may surface in the near future, but for now here is the aforementioned "Section 13: Patchwork Parade."
 

New Original Score Preview "Patchwork Parade"

Section 13 [Patchwork Parade] by CJ Wallis

Earlier this year, director David Branin posted a note asking for someone to create an original score for a film he has recently finished called Goodbye Promise. The influences suggested to apply were Sigur Ros and Radiohead.

Armed with a not-very-secret obsession with both bands and a like-crafted, unreleased Elective instrumental - we contacted them. After listening to all submitted works and composers - we were ultimately selected by the filmmakers to create their arrangements.

969 Canceled, The Awkward Stage Video Isn't.

On day one of hiatus from 969, the producers and hosts were informed the show was not coming back. No real shock to those who were paying somewhat close attention. A music video is slated to be shot for The Awkward Stage, whenever it can be arranged. Mark Geary's third album is currently in the mixing stages of which we contributed to 7 of the songs, but what ends up on the final album remains to be seen at this point.

Work Begins On Mark Geary's New Album 'Opium'

This is a bit of news that happened during the Circumference/Stalls/Sidewalk Film Festival trip, but in the coming weeks/months: we will be working with Mark Geary on his forthcoming third album providing piano, string arrangements etc. You are strongly encouraged to check out Mark and his work on his official website.

Oops

Big House felt the story they wrote was a bit too vague now that they have seen it all together and in one piece - so in the interest of overall enjoyment, a bit of rearranging, editing and alternate things were requested. The film was cut by a minute and a bit. the existing score, which was timed to the previous edit, was hacked, cross faded and re-arranged from the existing files to try and best accommodate the new cut. The film will screen this Wednesday at the Westin Bayshore. Tickets can be purchased for alot of money here.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered

The initial edit for the Lotus Awards introduction film was submitted to Big House this afternoon for feedback before picture lock. Running time is currently around five minutes. Samples from the score will be posted up someplace soon. Additionally, Big House has requested a piece of music to play during the various winner's walk from their table to the podium. That needs to be done very soon.
