“Follow”

Finishing the music for a film for the new Spectacle Island Visitor’s Center reminded me that I never posted this short arty project I scored for the same director, Elliot Higger, when she was finishing off at Emerson. In exhibition, the film shows in a loop, with multiple screens of different shapes and sizes squeezed together.

Recently wrapped up a few cues for 25 Hill, an upcoming film from writer/director/actor Corbin Bernsen (LA Law) about a boy who, after his father dies fighting in Afghanistan, fulfills their plan to compete in the All American Soap Box Derby. Many thanks to fellow composer Lee Strauss of Boathouse Recording for having me help out with the score.

Independent Film Festival of Boston 2011 Intros

Finally got around to posting the IFFBoston Intro clips I scored for this year’s festival. It was a lot of fun solving the problem of how to flow across the countdown chirps while making the genre and movie references. Take a look . . . and if you’re still detoxing from IFF Boston, here’s a little hair of the dog.

(Kudos go out to Larry Andersen of Spot Editorial and Brandon Schaefer for the excellent video creation/production and graphic design.)

Lantana Games – Children of Liberty

rjaret — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 16:08:25 +0000

I’m very excited to be officially working as the Resident Audio Director for Lantana Games, providing sound FX, audio production and audio programming for their upcoming game Children of Liberty.

Children of Liberty is an historical game that takes place between Boston, Lexington and Concord on the eve of the American Revolution. Besides fantastic gameplay, COL is putting a premium on creativity and historical accuracy, featuring completely hand-drawn animations and audio effects based on recordings of authentic artifacts and locations. It’s going to be a fun and challenging project to both work on and play!

“Morocco to Israel”

rjaret — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 12:47:12 +0000

I’m working today on the score for the short film “Morocco to Israel”, about families that participated in the large migration of Berber Jews from Morocco after the formation of Israel in 1948, and the independence of Morocco in 1956. It’s a neat little film that blends interviews with family members to create a single narrative. The film is by director Avital Epstein.
