Music for the Weekend: 'Canto 8' by dälek, from the 'Lilith' Original Score.

At long last, I can give my readers a taste of the sonic world that Lilith is enveloped in. dälek have been hard at work doing the final mix on their original score for the film, and the results have been astounding. I'm really, really blown away by what these two guys have done. (p.s. listen to it with headphones or a system with good speakers and you'll get the full effect, with all that incredible low-end bass).

The hunt.

This composition is from a sequence featuring a hunt, where our plucky protagonist Sarah Wilson is being gunned down by a mysterious man in a gas mask. I wanted the sounds to have a tribal feel to it, a primal breakdown of all that is civil into evil. As the hunt progresses, Sarah begins to use her ingenuity and fights back. It's all in the film, but you can watch it in your head when you listen to this track. It's an amazing progression of a serene calm that is systematically destroyed. Coupled with Faroukh Mistry's amazing visuals, Chris Stangroom's incredible sound design, and the unhinged performances of Julia Voth and Karl Toth, I'm incredibly proud of what we achieved with this sequence.

And hats off to dälek. My brothers from another mother have been on point since they laid down their first note. This is really really cool stuff, and a new definition of horror film music.

Also of note; MC dälek's solo side project, iconaAclass, will dropping a new album and tour in the coming weeks. Check it out, it's some classic hip-hop blasted through the visionary filter of dälek!

Have a great weekend!

From Page to Screen.

Tonight marks the end of the second week of production, and while we've had our bumps, we're still emerging with some absolutely incredible stuff. I'm beyond happy with what we've captured.

To really emphasize the creative genius of my cast and crew, here's a little sample of what we've been able to accomplish. Some time ago I posted a concept drawing I did of one of the characters from Lilith simply called "The Lion." For a refresher, here it is again:

And here is an image of what we shot today, taken from an uncorrected still camera:

And here's the better part: it looks even more amazing in the RED camera with the anamorphic frame and exposure. My cast and crew's ability to translate my ideas and direction into film images and performance continues to humble and blow me away.

Lilith is 66% in the can with one more grueling week of production to go. We're pushing hard and all sacrificing sleep and sanity, but the results are showing tenfold. Tomorrow is our day off, time to do some laundry, relax, and prepare for Friday.
