So there we were in late January with an available recording slot to fill. I decided to go ahead with an idea that I have been fostering for a couple of years and that David Chesky encouraged me to go ahead and do (After all, I did get my Ph.D. as a composer from UCLA). So here's the concept...take a very well known classical work and re-cast it as a piece in the style of electronica. But that's not all. Have some of my favorite musicians realize the concept acoustically and in realtime...basically jam on the "changes" of the Moonlight Sonata of Beethoven for an hour and capture it on high-resolution audio and high-definition video. It turned out great! It's a hybrid piece with great solos, pulsing rhythms and incredible instrumental color.

In the middle of the production it occurred to me to turn the video of the musicians into a moving, evolving piece of motion graphics by processing or filtering [heavily] the HD video that we shot. Lots of computer graphics get created to accompany a piece of music but how many times is the video a direct derivative of the performance itself. I call this the "wallpaper" version of the piece. I'd love to hear from customers about this presentation...I spent another 6 weeks realizing it.
