(Jil Guyon in Threshold, 2025)
It's been a minute since I updated this blog. After the run of Assemblage, I returned to work on a score for Threshold -- a new video by my friend and frequent collaborator, award-winning multidisciplinary visual and performing artist Jil Guyon. Created with the support of the Foundation Obras, and shot on location at the Castle of Evoramonte in Estramoz, Portugal, Threshold is a noir-like montage, in sumptuous black and white, that simmers with underlying violence and ritualistic calm. The music I've created is similar in its extremes and features multiple overdubbed performances by Houston cellist Patrick Moore. (Recorded in my home studio in the middle of summer, without A/C. Whew!) Jil and I are in the final stages of the project. I am sure the final cut, like every film by Jil I've scored, will screen widely.
Two other projects are in the works, but it's too early to share details; suffice it to say that one is a collaboration with an amazing choreographer, the other, with a fantastic painter.

I continue to write about music and visual art for a couple of publications, including Houstonia and Arts & Culture, Texas. I also have my still relatively new Substack, Night and Day, which I invite you to check out and consider subscribing to.
