Discussing with my kid how our chosen/assigned names in foreign language classes went on to function as temporary alter-egos at some later stage or another.

20 years. A record that gets younger while the rest of us get older.

For filmmakers and other prospective clients, this is a portion of a sizzle reel that demonstrates my experience and skill in all aspects of sound design, and some scoring, too.

For a downloadable version with higher screen res and audio definition, email laminalaudio, at gmail. Thx for watching.

Responding to a recent request, I’ve put together an audio sizzle reel of some mastering projects, specifically aimed at past and potential filmmaking clients. Hard to believe sometimes that I’ve been able to do this kind of work.

for fucks sake. Dilloway only recently talked to the NYT about the timelessness of the score. That article is linked below.

I can’t wait to see it

Susan, who had the nerve and audacity to take the music of Messiaen to the steel guitar. She’d drive the Texas backroads in the dead of night, to the next C/W gig. A compassionate observer of the world, empathy for those who’d judge her. Can we be this lucky to have traveled even a moment with her?

Beautifully said. I’ve been processing this loss all day.

Yup

The response at every opportunity when a Republican complains of loss of support due to the halting of aid programs: “good to see you’re coming around to socialism. Can I help you make some calls?”

The order and position of the exec branch and DoD is vile, ignorant, and in conflict with even the most basic findings from the field of gender studies. It is packed with the potential for violence against trans people, and dangerously provides a script for the greater normalization of mental abuse.

Morning dive involved listening to Tony Oxley’s brushwork on a slightly subdued “Someday My Prince Will Come”. You won’t find yourself in many convos in the US surrounding Tubby Hayes and his groups. We are absolutely asleep over here on the subject of British jazz. It’s always been that way.

If it weren’t real, a pairing that eventually comes to you in a dream.

Pair with the indifference from mainstream Dems toward creators losing their income streams in a fiscal landscape largely created by….mainstream dems.
