Integrative Nutrition: Healthy Cooking DVD

My second project for this company.

The Duel (from light to darkness to light...)

An eleven minute video loop by French filmmaker and photographer Gerald Petit. A guitarist named Jaymes and I battle out a two-guitar version of Funkadelic's Maggot Brain, first on the roof of my building and then in a gallery in Chelsea. Below are my favorite stills:

Why Only We

Lisa Carlbom's short documentary explores the ways that the post 9/11 anti-immigrant backlash has affected New York City's Pakistani immigrant community. An estimated 20,000 people have disappeared from the city in the past three years. Immediately after the terror attacks, the FBI and the Department Of Homeland Security started performing sweeps in different Pakistani areas in New York City, arresting South Asian men on sometimes spurious charges.

Hear a sample: The haunting score includes samples of Jesse Selengut's trumpet and Adrian Mira's clarinet from the first poma-swank CD, the New York Metro Mass Choir, a field recording of a gamelan orchestra, various tablas and a synth bass.

Distress

Doug Clark and I co-composed and performed the score with for this 93 minute film directed by Blue Kraning.

Black Eight

I composed the original score for this 11 minute film produced by Tallboy Films. It premiered at the First Round Winner screening of the 2003 Midnight Madness Movie Making Competition.

Hear a sample: The film is about pool sharks, so the mood is urban, sophisticated and moody, as in this trip-hop groove. download | stream

Frankenthug

The title of Zachary Snygg's ghetto horror film pretty much sums it up. He incorporated some Submarine Factory and Tasting Zoo into the mix, along with some of my most adventurous pieces of computer music, including:

A "piano boomerang" based on samples of a piece composed and performed by Eric Wubbels, so named because the samples bounce back and forth, forwards and backwards, through the magic of Pro Tools. download | stream

I composed the original score for this 62 minute film directed by Rene Veilleux. The film premiered in the 2002 New York International Independent Film and Video Festival.
