Sunking M.I.A.

I've been kind of lacking on the blog entries due to a bunch of cool projects keeping me busy these last few months.

Here's a quick overview:

-I recorded the score composed by composer-extraordinaire Mike Andrews for a new Dreamworks feature She's Out Of My League

-Mixed three promo spots for Fox TV including one for the show (here's a link to one of them) (Look for the trailer called: Jack In D.C.) all composed by cinematic-funkonaut Dan Ubick

-Mastered a new record for raw, funky Hip-Hop/Reggae group Simple Citizens

-Mastered/mixed a new EP for Live Electronics group Jogger (members include the "King of Warm Digital")

-Currently tracking/mixing cuts for a Rhythm Roots Allstars' caribo-funk full-length

-Mastering a funky-full-length for legendary California Producer DJ Greyboy

Peace,

Yaya! Ooow!

Sshhh...Sex and the City is not really my thing, but...

Me (strings) and the Orgone'rs (rhythm section) made it on to a song on the soundtrack. The Jack Splash-produced song, "All Dressed Up In Love," is beautifully executed by Miss Jennifer Hudson and so cleverly co-written by Mr. Cee-Lo Green. Check it here:

Why Does Musical Genius So Often Go Unnoticed?

I just stumbled onto the Saint Or Soldier myspace page. This is my friend Evan's new project and it has officially blown my mind! Evan is a true artist that spews magic every time he opens his mouth or grabs a guitar! There is not a trick or any facade here! These two songs have made my year! Somebody please put this record out so that I can buy it!!!

IRON MAN, Rhythm Roots Allstars, and Sunking

Hey All!,

If you're going to see Iron Man this weekend, check out our brief blip in the movie! I mixed the song with Davey Chegwidden (producer) and Rhythm Roots are the band backing Ghostface. The song is called, "Slept On Tony With Dirt," and it's featured in a music video on the screen in the private airplane towards the beginning of the movie. Don't blink, or you might miss it-haha!

Peace,

SK
