“Sound of Now” featured in a film soundtrack

Thrilled to announce that “Sound of Now,” a track on which I played/arranged piano for the fabulous Ayumi Perry, is now available on iTunes as part of the soundtrack for the film God Where Are You?

…it’s track 2…

Congrats to Ayumi Perry and David Raine on the soundtrack feature! Was a pleasure playing and recording with you both at the Boom Room. Stay tuned for updates on Ayumi’s upcoming album…

Spotlight on Musical Theatre Composition: “Pay 2 Play”

I am proud to announce that I am the composer for a brand new musical, currently in the works, called Pay2Play. It’s a satire of Philadelphia politics. Funnyman Brian Kerrigan is the author of the book/lyrics and he’s also the show’s producer. Writing the music to complement his hysterical, witty, amazing script is entirely too much fun.

We’ll be casting 5 roles for a web-based mini filmed version of the musical [casting early in June, shooting in August]. Please stay tuned for more updates on the project!

For more information about auditions and the web-based mini musical, check out our listing on Backstage.com

To hear demo piano-vocal recordings of excerpts of songs from the show, check out VoiceMakeDown’s Soundcloud page (the official SoundCloud site for our show’s production company)

PRC @Cedar Street Studios & More piano tracking @Third Story Recording ♫

Monday night, at Cedar Street Studios we hosted the monthly PRC (Philadelphia Recording Community) meeting. We had a great turnout and spread the word about Box of Stars, an organization that spreads mental health awareness (and reduces stigma) through music. PRC is a fantastic way to participate in and network with people/studios operating in the greater Philadelphia area, and it’s a genuinely nice and very interesting group. And Box of Stars is a fantastic organization in which I hope all of my readers opt to play a part.

This evening, I tracked additional piano for Diandra Gore at Third Story Recording. We recorded parts for an original song. It’s a fun, fast, and funky track.

It is such a pleasure and a thrill to be interning at these two fine Philly studios!

Stay tuned for more updates on my upcoming EP; bass/guitar/drum tracking are happening next week!
