Happy Earth Day everyone! I'm excited to finally release the Classic - A Documentary Film Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. It's now available through Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and more.

@Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5eC1p9dC4XN8Nh6YwiZAIl…

Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/…/classic-original-motio…/1508583347

Amazon Music: https://www.amazon.com/…/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_kb0NEbGEAF0…

To be honest, before this score I wasn't an avid listener of bluegrass music and hadn't written anything in the style. Through researching the history of Nenana and Alaska, the cultures and traditions that formed its Athabaskan fiddling style, collaborating with some amazing Colorado bluegrass musicians, and picking up some skills on the spoons, harmonium, and washboard, I now have a whole new appreciation. We had a lot of fun creating this one and I hope you have a lot of fun listening to my take on bluegrass music. Above all, during these rough times, I hope the spirit of Nenana "warms your chilly heart, and brings you to your knees." For those of you who would like to purchase the album, I'll be donating all profits to charity and for the immediate time being, I'd like to put funds towards a COVID-19 related relief effort. If anyone has advice or ideas on the best places to donate regarding COVID-19, please let me know.

Another exciting day of composing. #composerlife and I discovered that most glassware fits within the F# major range.

Nearing the end of mixing at @evergroove studios with Brad Smalling. We had some good times morphing the #filmscore ‘s #bluegrass style into vintage #8-bit #chiptunes #music.
I recently had the pleasure to collaborate with director Tim Kaminski in creating a soundtrack for his feature documentary "Classic". I absolutely can't wait for the world to see this film because it has brought so many smiles and laughs to me for the past few months.

The film is set in the small town of Nenana, Alaska, where a 100-year-old tradition of betting on the ice melt is put to the test when changing times force the town, its charming residents, and this historic contest into the 21st century.

I threw some interesting vocal parts at @vossling and she took them and ran with them like a champ. Operatic vocals in bluegrass music? Why not!

I recently had the pleasure to collaborate with director Tim Kaminski in creating a soundtrack for his feature documentary "Classic". I absolutely can't wait for the world to see this film because it has brought so many smiles and laughs to me for the past few months.

The film is set in the small town of #nenana, #alaska, where a 100-year-old tradition of betting on the ice melt is put to the test when changing times force the town, its charming residents, and this historic contest into the 21st century.

For the film's soundtrack, I researched the old-time #athabaskan #fiddle style that is unique for this region of the U.S. This style was originally influenced by the traders from the Hudson Bay Company and is a fusion of #music from Scotland, Ireland, the Orkney Islands, French Canada, and indigenous people of Alaska. Tim and I imagined that majority of the instruments used in the soundtrack had to be carried on the backs of traders trekking across the North American wilderness, and had to have the feel of a group of musicians playing together on a front porch. We recorded at @evergroove Studio in Evergreen, an incredible studio that was fitting for the film's setting since its surrounded by #Colorado wilderness.

For the recording session we embraced the "rag tag" nature of the film's story and pulled together a wide range of musicians and instruments from Colorado's vibrant bluegrass community, including Enion Pelta-Tiller and David G. Tiller from the band @taarka_music, John Ellington from the Legendary Katthouse Pickers, @greggarrisonbass of @leftoversalmonmusic, @vossling , #AjaxQuartet celloist Eric Haugen, and Taylor Sims of @bonnieandtheclydes. Brad Smalling of @evergroove has lent his recording and mixing skills to bring the score to life.

I'm looking forward to sharing more about this project in the coming months!

This cue is the big moment in the film when Lois and Charlies massive insect collection is packed up into a moving truck and shipped off to be immortalized at Arizona State University. I was channeling my @devotchkamusic for this one.
See you all at @Mountainfilm!
