BP Protest song and video
in conjunction with Electric Black, we’ve mixed and added production to their BP protest song “Top Kill” and also created a music video for it. It’s featured on Prefix Mag currently, spread the word!
“We organized this protest with the intention of creating a multimedia performance piece aimed to fan the fires of outrage against BP, TransOcean, and Halliburton,...
Fashion Video featured on Vogue.com
We spent some time in March and April scoring a fashion film with Director Zach Gold for designers A.F. Vandevorst, and the results are some of the best work we’ve ever done. All video was done here at our new home, Lovescool Studio.

long time!
Dude, its been a long time since I’ve done any blogging, what gives? Well, I’ll tell you, things have been crazy for me and Nick here at Casa Nova Studios, but we got to take a MUCH needed vacation in the Catskill Mountains.

Testing Tumblr!
Hello folks, I’ve been off the map for a while….there have been many transitions being made, and one of those is our server.

For the past few years, I generally have been driving for the holidays to avoid the madness that is the modern airport. Driving, although more labor intensive, seems a lot more “free” if you will….
