While attending “The Room” premier, the film editor, Eric Reinig approached me about writing music for a short film noir project he had a CSUN.  The only problem?  I had less then 24hrs to get something done.  I wasn’t sure if I would be able to get something but told Eric I would give it a shot.

The next day I spent about 3 hours and came up with a good bass riff and a dirty barri-sax line to go on top of it.  I added a couple other little accents here and there and drove the finished audio over to Eric later that afternoon.  This was by far the fastest turn-around I’ve done on any project.

Eric Reinig approached me about writing music for a video he had written, directed and filmed for the film school at Cal State Northridge.  I puzzled over this for several weeks as the music had to be the voice for the mimes.

Some of the music was thought out chord progressions (there were several days where I puzzled over what chord progression represented a box of chocolates).  Some of it was just improvised.  Everything was recorded live (mistakes and all!) like an old silent-movie.
