This was a segment of the sound-only production Theater of the New Ear, which debuted at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn, NY with support from Sirius Satellite Radio, United Talent Agency and Sony Pictures.
He recently created a track called « Bella’s Lullaby » for the film Twilight (2008). The soundtrack released on November 4, 2008.
