Sensations At Coney Island

The 2009 Coney Island Film Festival will feature my latest animation ‘Sensations of the Season’.

This is really exciting as the theme of this animation is based around a freak show … so to be shown at Coney Island (which is the last place in the USA where you can experience the thrill of a traditional ten-in-one circus sideshow) makes it a real hoot.

If you don’t already know .. ‘Sensations of the Season’ is an animated accompliment I made for the bizarre music of Onethirtyeight.

We are featured on there press release HERE.

Please all come along and see ‘Sensations of the Season’ at it’s second public showing in the world!

May I draw Your attention To The Traditionalists

The Traditionalists are a branch off of the band ‘Secret Chiefs 3′ and they have crafted one of my favorite albums of the moment…

Le Mani Destre Recise Degli Ultimi Uomini (The Severed Right Hands of the Last Men) draws it’s inspiration from the Giallo Horror film’s. The album contains 30 tracks of original music inspired by Italian film composers including Bruna Nicolai, Stelvio Cipriani, Ennio Morricone, Goblin and Pierro Piccioni.
