In October and November, I was asked to compose an original soundtrack for David Fowler's 40-minute movie "Lean On Me". Eight of the tracks were programmed into MIDI in Logic Pro X; however, I chose two especially sensitive pieces to be recorded by soprano Achil Obenza, and cellist Ash.
We recorded together at Jack Straw Productions ( http://www.jackstraw.org ) in the University District in Seattle on November 28th. It was a bit of a challenge, since due to Achil's illness and Ash's surgery immediately preceding the recording session, none of us had been able to rehearse together except by sending one another recordings of us playing our solo parts for the other to practice to. Nonetheless, both of them were troopers, and we managed to get some really beautiful recordings.
Below are "Darryl" (track 6) and "Good Friend" (track 7).
