Soundtrack for the movie He/She and Me
I had the joy of writing my first film score since college (that was a teaching aid for education students) this year. Friends and neighbors Jerry Sipp and Janet Boudreau asked me to write incidental music for their filming of the play "He/She and Me". It's a one woman play written by Sharon Mathis that I had seen Janet perform live some years ago and they had decided to make a movie of it. The music is mostly short scene transitions and underscoring. I composed, performed and recorded all original music except for a few sections where they had picked out some pieces I had previously recorded for other projects and we used parts of them in the film. In particular, "Colorado" is a mashup of several pieces I wrote for the dance "Bamboo Wind" the previous year. There are also two pieces in the movie that were written and performed by the country duo Velvet Rodeo, but I did not include them in this "soundtrack".

The entire project was done on my aging and under-powered Dell computer. Recording/editing done with the wonderful open source software Audacity. A few pieces were created with the aid of LMMS and a small M-Audio midi keyboard. Everything else played by me on cello, bass, violone, melodica (with effects via Audacity), bouzouki, accordion and a deliciously-out-of-tune 1908 Steinway.
