Ah the website. Still not really where I want it to be. But it's a placeholder and I hope you understand.
We just finished working on another short doc, this one entitled "Swim To Bill" and I hope you get to see it soon.
The Grassy Knoll's Nolan Green has just released an ep of new material under his own name. The title is SAFE. Please give it a listen. As Nolan explains, "Creating music as Nolan Green means freeing myself from repeating the past, starting with a blank canvas with no rules, yet continuing to be relentless and explore new territory. The tracks that appear on "Safe" are inspired by artists such as Shida Shahabi, Brian Eno, Bill Evans, Eric Satie, and Bohren & Der Club of Gore. What draws me into their music is the spirit in which they create—understated, intimate, and confident.
"Safe" sounds dark yet hopeful, layered yet spacious—and to my ears, simply beautiful. It’s music that demands an attentive listen. Each listen reveals something new. This is headphone music for the soul."

Several years after giving up on the endless pitching-to-the-void that we felt music licensing had become, we're still working with a few songs and artists and mostly focusing on our publishing admin biz, primarily the catalogs of Mr Bongo Records (we admin publishing for them through our These Are Big Sounds Publishing), avant jazzrock artist The Grassy Knoll, and the under-appreciated stylings of jazz/ska/lounge legend Joey Altruda, and supervising as much as I can get hired on - an Academy Award-winning short, "If Anything Happens, I Love You", Academy Award nominated short doc, "How Do You Measure A Year", a museum commemorating the Greenwood massacre, a doc about Dennis Hopper's right-hand-man (score by Gemma Thompson (Savages), and some cool indie movies I hope you get to see soon.
Here are a few of links to some sites we work with or just like to have around:
