Another track from kLoB's new album, Exaggerate the Follow-Through. It was once titled "The In Crowd." I like "Jellyfish" much better.

06 Jellyfish

This one was featured in the film, "Cocaine Angel" (Damian Lahey/Mike Tully, Kaveras Film). We pulled the Best Music award in Spain at the Barcelona Digital Film Fest(DiBa) With Max Richter as the primary source of music for the film. The overlapping time signatures and the Kazoo Dogfight at the end are highlights for me. Super tense and un-easy feeling. Fitting for a film about addiction and loosing one's grip on life, I think.

01 Hurricane Mike

An adaptation of the classic Christmas Carol for cello and bells. Arranged and performed by Naarah Strokosch and Brian Jenkins for the film, "The Heroes of Arvine Place," by Damian Lahey. (interesting note: the looped percussion track behind this piece is knee-slaps and hand-claps with a 16th note delay added at the halfway into the track) 

CAROL of the BELLS

Wrote and recorded this over the last 3 days.. Sleigh Bells, Acoustic Guitar, Drum Set, Electric Bass and Lowrey Organ.

Piano3 Org

Written and Performed by Naarah Strokosch and Brian Jenkins for the film, "The Heroes of Arvine Place," by Damian Lahey, 2012. Interesting note: the clickclacks weren't supposed to be in the final version! That was me laying down drumsticks on the back of a desk chair as a metronome/click track.. adding a 16th note delay over 16th notes at the same rate made for a little spaceiness..

Bus Scene Cellos & ClickClacks

I wrote this little jam track by track as it was laid down, improvising with myself in the studio. It was recorded for a spoken-word album by Malcolm Randal, called "The Malchemist." Malcolm wanted a drum track on the cd about his backyard pond. I tried to simulate cicada, click bugs and frogs with the instrumentation, imagining I was a dragon fly lazing about the natural orchestra that takes place when the Sun starts to dip toward the horizon. Hope ya like it!
