January 28, 2007: I'm back working full-time at "As The World Turns, " honing my guitar riffs and creating new sounds for the show. On the "Sisters" front, I'm looking forward to the U.S. premiere in March. Word is the film might play at the Philadelphia Film Festival, which would be close enough for me to attend.

October 18, 2006: "Sisters" had its world premiere at the Sitges International Film Festival on October 13th, 2006, and it will have its North-American Premiere October 25th, 2006 at the Festival du Nouveau Cinema in Montreal. My co-composer, David Kristian, lives in Montreal and will attend the screenings. How exciting. I wish I could be there. Advance word is good on the music. I'll let you know more after the 25th!

August 30, 2006: Kazu Makino, singer from Blonde Redhead, was in the studio today laying down vocals for "Sisters."

She did a tremendous job, and gave us a variety of choices -- so many good ones, in fact, I'm going to have a difficult time deciding what not to use. Look for Kazu to be featured on the theme and end credits, and you'll also hear her as part of the score.

August 19, 2006: I've started recording cello solos with Gretta Cohn for the score of Sisters. Gretta's fantastic. She'll be featured on the theme, the lullaby and Bach Suite 1, and is contributing some funky sounds for our sound design. Gretta plays both cello and electric cello and has a classical and rock background. She spent four years in the band Cursive and recorded for Saddle Creek Records.
