Off to a nice start with the Bumper Car City soundtrack. Just wrapped up the beginning of the opening sequence and am setting down the headphones now that I have a nice kernel to work with later. We'll get into the nitty-gritty beat editing later.
Having lots of fun with the project already and love that there's nothing else looming over my head so I can give this project my undivided attention. I think that people who know my music won't expect the soundtrack to sound the way it's going to. I'll upload little samples of progress later.
Here are stills from the film I'm helping to score. See more at raulgonzo.com
Raul Gonzo and I have a deal. His movie is dope...think Brazil style low-tech dystopian future but with CGI and a very original story line. Canadian Electronic Musician Milosh has provided the theme song and it's a really cool piece. I'm honored to be involved with the same project as him and excited about having one degree of separation between us.
My job is to score however many scenes Raul wants. We've got a little ftp system going and I have a year to wrap it up. Raul's the boss and he's providing me direction for the vibe of the music he's hoping to get on the particular scenes. I get my first chunk tomorrow.
In the end, the movie will be 90 minutes long, submitted to many film-fests and distributed digitally and on DVD. Raul's making a big push on this one and involving marketing firms. We're hoping for the BUMPER CAR CITY cult following in 5 years.
I'd be excited if 100 people saw it but I'm a cheap date. I think Raul has bigger expectations for this one.
So Dean hooked it up. Dean the man...always in the vest...always with the swagger and the chin up. Dean's got this buddy in Yuba City who makes dope videos. Raul Gonzo. If that's actually his name then his mother should be given some kind of award.
Anyway, this cat Raul hit me up on the site here and wants me to work on music for his 2 hour sci-fi movie he's been animating single-frame by frame for the past 3 years. This guy's clearly out of his mind and a pretty badass artist. He seems to feel some kind of kinship with my music and I think I have a year or something to work on his project.
Raul recently won 1st place Best Video at the Toronto film fest for an animation piece he set to Thom Yorke's music. Thom Yorke said he could use the music. I'm trippin on this guys work. It's completely insane.
We're meeting tomorrow at the U-Bar to hammer out details. Please indulge in Raul's work <here>.
