Check back for news.

Hi and thanks for checking in—I have a number of things to report.

On the film front, I’m excited to announce the release of 2 films. Tennessee Williams’ “The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond” opens December 30th in N.Y. and L.A. with a national release to follow in January. It’s a beautifully shot feature set in 1920’s Memphis starring Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Evans, with great turns from both Ellyn Burstyn and Ann-Margret. Also opening in January is the documentary feature “Mine,” a profile of the animal rescue effort in the wake of hurricane Katrina. It won the non-fiction audience award at this year’s SXSW film festival in Austin. In addition to the theatrical release “Mine” is slated to air on PBS’ Independent Lens on February 16th.

You can listen to audio clips from these scores and find additional information about them and other films in the Film Scoring section of the site.

As some of you may have heard, Tin Hat has been on a reduced touring schedule following the birth of Tallulah (the radiant) to proud parents Matthias and Carla back in August. As her road-worthiness gathers we’ve been planning - including a trip back to Europe in the Fall and dates on both costs. In the meantime we are releasing a new CD entitled “Foreign Legion.” It was recorded live in Mallorca, Spain and Berkeley, CA. and will be available early 2010.

In other recording news, The Steel Trio’s first CD is nearly mixed—there are some preliminary mixes up on its page, and Imaginary Icebergs will begin work on a new record this winter—details to follow.

And—Rafael Oses and I have begun work on a new feature length radio drama entitled “The Night Pharaoh.” This one will be staged as well as broadcast—check the Radio Works section of the site for more information.

Lastly, please join our mailing list to receive quarterly updates on it all, and rest assured that while I do own the latest version of autotune, emails will not be Cher’d.
