2011: The Year In Review
2011 was a busy and productive year! To cap it off I thought I'd write a summary of some of the highlight projects I got to work on this past 12 months.I scored the beautiful feature film Two Shadows from writer/director Greg Cahill.I wrote original music for a commercial for the MTV Video Music Awards.I wrote music for many short films, including:
- Project Arbiter with Michael Chance
- Fire City with Brian Lubocki and Michael Hayes
- Pixelated Mindwarp Mario Adventure! with D. Ryan Reeb
- Patricide with Kevin Huang
- Nuts for Pizza with Dave Andrade
- Bride on Sale with Hendrik de Smet
The medical animation company Viscira had me score some of their recent projects. Thanks to Hagop Kaneboughazian, creator of Ara's Flight, for the introduction!With the creative and talented guys at inthegroove I wrote a large collection of cues for the Discovery Channel series Hoarding: Buried Alive.The official Disney Princess website added Rapunzel to its roster of princesses, and thus I wrote an orchestral arrangement of Alan Menken's "When Will My Life Begin" for her page.I wrote several tutorials for Audiotuts, continuing the Altered Chord series I began in 2010:
- Getting to Know Altered Chords Part 3: Altered VI
- Getting to Know Altered Chords Part 4: Altered III
- Getting to Know Altered Chords Part 5: Altered VII
I wrote original string quartet and string orchestra arrangements for many songwriters and artists via the company I run with my beautiful wife, Lydia Veilleux, at Short Order Strings.And I played bass for Michael Teoli and Joe Fria's epic gothic horror rock musical CarnEvil!Here's to a prolific and creative 2012!
