hello friends

Again this is the last project Chris Webb was working on before he passed away. I finished it up with string arrangments and addtional music. it is an intense piece of theatre.

"Lydia" previews April 2nd through 14th, and opens April 15th and runs till May 17th.

here is a write up on the show:

Set in the 1970s on the Texas border separating the United States and Mexico, Lydia is an intense, lyrical, and magical new play that marks the Yale Rep debut of award-winning playwright Octavio Solis.

The Flores family welcomes Lydia, an undocumented maid, into their El Paso home to care for their daughter Ceci, who was tragically disabled in a car accident on the eve of her quinceañera, her fifteenth birthday. Lydia's immediate and seemingly miraculous bond with the girl sets the entire family on a mysterious and shocking journey of discovery. Lydia is an unflinching and deeply emotional portrait of a Mexican immigrant family caught in a web of dark secrets.

“Written with soul-searching honesty and breathtaking mastery” (San Francisco Chronicle), Octavio Solis's plays, including Santos & Santos, El Paso Blue, and El Otro, have been praised as “brightly nightmarish, frighteningly comic, mystifying, and downright entertaining” (San Francisco Examiner).

I know this is a little late, but I have an ep titled "Canciones Del Futuro" that came out on the Resting Bell net Label in 2008.
this label has an amazing catalog of electronic, ambient, field recording/sound artists, and musicians. and its all free to download!
enjoy

"Lydia" runs now through February 28th, 2009 at Yale Rep in New Haven, Connecticut.

On december 15th 2008 composer, guitarist, collaborator, G&S guitarist, and friend Chris Webb Passed away. He left us suddenly due to a rare form of cancer.

He was one of the most talented up and coming musicians and composers in theatre, film, television, and in the NYC music scene. We had been friends and performed for the past 15 years in many bands and music projects as well as composed music for numerous theatre and dance productions.

As his last wish he requested that i finish the score to Octavio Solis' play "Lydia" at Yale Repertory Theatre in Connecticut and at the Mark Taper Forum in LA later this year.
more details on these show in the next blog.
It's been a tough year. so that's why i have disappeared from the west coast for the past 2 months.

Please go to webbmusic.net to check out his work.
there is also a secret myspace page called Zombie Club which was a place for his close friends to hear rough ideas to his dark, dirty blues project. there are only 2 untitled tracks there.

Here is an old Movie i did the sound track for.
www.barrygifford.com/films_ball_lightning.html

it's for the film written by Barry Gifford and directed by Amy Glazer one of my former theatre collaborators.
Gifford has written and co-written a few David Lynch films including the ones i can remember:
Lost Highway and Wild At Heart.
he also wrote the kick ass Perdita Durango directed by Alex De La Iglesia
