Springtime at Biltmore


A lovely ad I got to score for the Biltmore in North Carolina, largest single-family home in country with some incredible gardens. Featuring Jeff Katz (Broadway’s Lion King) on trumpet, Polly Hall (Santa Monica’s Gardening Queen) on violins, and yours truly on those fun, old-timey notes.

Backyard Blogger

backytardblogger
Backyard Blogger (2010, dir. Mary Anderson Casavant, 7 min.) is a quirktastic short doc for which I contributed additional music (full score by the incomparable Polly Hall). It portrays the misfit fashion adventures of a teenage blogger in Tennessee who discovers himself (and international recognition) through the process of creating an online photojournal of his wardrobe philosophy.
