The team has recently completed sound and music production for the feature film Sense of Need, by Director/Producer Shady Srour, a graduate of San Francisco Academy of Art. Samples of their soundtrack work is found on www.senseofneed.com/trailers.html.
For the project, a selection of classical works by Schubert, Rachmaninoff, and Bach were adapted for the film. One of the more compelling works on the program was a digitally rescored version of Franz Schubert’s Erlkonig, on the sample list as “Lieder for the Land of Milk and Honey”, and a Rachmaninoff spinoff with special sound effects, which is also included in the program.
Audio Clips may available on the site in the future.
