This project was a perfect excuse for Lyman to indulge his ukulele fantasies. Ron Pippin of Shiny Object called us up and asked us to be part of this amazing fundraising video for the Ronald McDonald House of Austin. The music needed to be handmade, simple and heartfelt to match the tone and creative direction.

It won the 2011 Annual DoGooder Nonprofit Video Award for Best Medium Original Video.

Music, sound design and mix for Action Figure’s SolarBridge Technologies video.

We were lucky enough to work closely with Director Ben Steinbauer and Producers Joel Heller & Malcolm Pullinger making music for their film Winnebago Man (which is playing in US theaters right now).

Driving features backwards and treated acoustic guitars, vibes and pedal steel. The music in this scene needed to signal doubt, introspection and vulnerability. It marked a turn of events in the filmmaker’s journey.

Last week to see Nick Cave’s Soundsuits at the Houston Contemporary. No, its not that Nick Cave. They were fantastic. Noise makers, sequins, buttons, crocheted doilies… Inspiring and playful. We highly recommend it.
