About the Soundtrack:

In September of 2016, I attended an annual end-of-summer party by the name of MalickFest that my longtime friend, Nelson Vicens, was hosting at his home. At the party, I mixed and mingled with familiar faces and new alike, but crossing paths with budding filmmaker Erik Waldman was a godsend.

I had known somewhere in the back of my mind that I had another film score in me, and that the music I'd created for my own screenplay and film, "Something About Silas", was not the end of my film scoring days. Of course, Erik's film is his directorial debut -- and a brilliantly witty yet deeply poignant one at that -- so I knew that the music would play an important role. I also had less time to work with, duration-wise, for this project, so what did that mean for me? Create more music than I need!

In the end, the result is this 19-track "retrospective" of a score that I envisioned by only reading words on the pages of the script, not even seeing a rough cut of the film during its editing process. Because of this, it is a bipolar-esque piece as a functioning whole, running the gamut from soft piano and strings to full-on experimental, chromatic, even atonal in nature. But, to me, that's okay ... it creates a much needed variance in structure and outlook than if all of the material were the same.

While film scores rank low on my list of accomplished works, the time, energy and passion utilized to create both this work -- and also my former score from 2011 -- trumps anything else, bar none. I'm not sure why I function like this as a composer in this environment, but there's a critical outcome that is very plainly found: how powerfully the resulting music effects its listeners.

I hope you enjoy this work as much as I have while creating it.
