The movie is titled Anywhere USA: The Movie and you should check out their website (click on the link to go there). Check out the director's notes, too. It's a pretty wild story how the film got made. It was filmed, or rather, video'd, entirely in Asheville using people off the street. No seasoned film actors anywhere to be seen.
When the director got the stunning word that the film was selected for Sundance, he had to go about clearing all the music used. He didn't have the time to get clearances on a couple pieces, so he called in a favor from Chris Rosser, who called me to replace a Kronos Quartet piece with a composition of our own. Cool. We called it the "Joe-nos Quartet." Chris replaced a marimba part with an electric piano part.
It's only fifty seconds, with about thirty seconds of me playing three violin/viola parts and Eliot Wadopian playing bowed bass. Chris Rosser plays the Wurlitzer Electric Piano.
Here's a clip:
Enjoy!
Thats cool but are you going to do any music for something good like Rambo or Dukes of Hazzard?
ReplyDeleteAlright, I knew it would only take a couple seconds for the guy who coined "Late Night Spurts (Brothers With a Mission)" to trash my efforts at 'high' art!! Taladega Nights was already in distribution before they found out about me...
ReplyDelete(Where ya get the photo and how didja post it?)
I took the picture in my backyard, its Ebel Beer from Two Brothers Brewery (James & Jason Ebel) in Chicago. They used to sell it at Dans Liquor in Plover. The owner said he knew there were alot of Ebels in town so he knew it would sell.
ReplyDeleteThe way I posted the picture was I went to set up my own blog (by mistake)and it let me put a picture. I went back and deleted the blog but it kept the picture. Not the technical answer you were looking for but it works.
That was "Late Night Spurts" AKA "Nocturnal Emissions"
Oops, I forgot! So the beer is legit? Any relation to us? So the pic is what you selected when you signed into this blog? Where was the choice given to post a picture? I want a picture TOO!!! Waah...
ReplyDeleteYup its legit. I have no idea if they are related but I wanted to go down there with Jim and Jerome to find out. If it means free beer I'm sure I could find and ancestral link.
ReplyDeleteIf I told you how to post a pic I'd have to kill you.
But what the heck...when you started your blog they gave you an option to choose a picture to insert. I inserted a picture, then went and deleted the blog and the picture magically appeared. Thats all I can tell you...its FM.
I got it! (I think...) I edited my Blogger Profile and found out where to insert the pic...
ReplyDeleteIf it ain't next to this message I'll be befuddled...actually, I'll probably remain befuddled either way...(where would I be without the ellipsis...?)
Thats it you got the pic in there.
