Singing in Oblivion

"Vienna’s Jewish Währinger cemetery opened to the public in 1784, during an era of tolerance and prosperity that eventually coincided with the dawn of photography. With the rise of Nazism, this historical jewel of a Biedermeier cemetery was variously desecrated and became an overgrown wilderness, though passersby noted it sounded as if a paradise of birds was locked behind its high stone walls. The graveyard today bears further scars of political and inertial neglect. Without the care of generations displaced or killed during the Nazi era, graves have been decimated by the falling branches and uncontrolled growth of ancient trees while the words and symbols on tombstones disappear into dust. Singing in Oblivion interweaves footage shot on location with images painstakingly lifted from antique glass negatives and printed one frame at a time in a darkroom onto 35mm film strips." - Eve Heller

Seahorse comes on horseback

This little film came up during the composition of "A Nau dos Loucos", when I realized that the dubbing sessions were taking up too much space to not become a film by itself. It's our first day of reading the script and composing the voiceover, first day collectively working on Pazucus, which is when it starts to get really fun. I didn't even know that making this film (these films actually) would be such an amazing experience yet, but I already had a good idea and I was already quite happy to just spend the day recording demented narrations with Marcius Lindner, Mariana Ungaretti (who does not appear in the film, but it provided us with the wonderful sound delirium, the closest I've ever come to seeing a private concert by Diamanda Galás ) and Marcel Mars.

The Sound of Us

"The Sound of Us" illustrates that during this critical time in world and U.S. history, music gives sound to hope and courage, allows us to grieve and be honest, and is the great, universal language that unites us all. "The Sound of Us" weaves inspiring stories about the beauty and goodness of music with interviews and performances by artists such as Ben Folds, Sarah McLachlan, Avery*Sunshine, Eric Whitacre, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Hiromi, Antonio Sanchez, Butch Walker, Will Wells, Patti Smith, Sekou Andrews and many more. Combined, these powerful vignettes illustrate how music heals us, gives us hope for the future through our children, keeps our heritage and history alive, allows us to have the most difficult of conversations, sheds light on current struggles, and continues to invite us back to the thing that unites us all - music.
