Mark your dance card! Saturday Feb 3rd is the premiere of "Paging Mr. Darcy" - a film I co-composed with  @AnneKathrinDernComposer  . Thanks to Anne for the opportunity to do a co-write with her. It was a blast coming up with themes and the movie is really great too! 

Thanks also to Kenny Wood, who contributed additional music and our music editor Shayla Swanson.

Catch "Paging Mr Darcy" on the Hallmark Channel Feb 3rd 8/7c. Summary: "When an overly serious scholar attends a Jane Austen annual conference, she strikes a deal with the man playing Mr. Darcy and finds her perspective, and her heart, changed. Starring Mallory Jansen and Will Kemp." 

You’re my kind of people. 

Some people have asked for a way to show their appreciation for the Negative Track Delay Database or some of my YouTube videos, so now you can buy me a coffee at  http://buymeacoffee.com/davidkudell 

Part 2 of my video about the Mac Studio for Composers is coming out on Tuesday! This one is THE definitive comparison between running VEPro vs a disabled track template so get ready! 

Just wanted to say welcome to all the new subscribers who found me through my video about Macs for composing! Some folks have asked where they can find my music. Besides working on various films I have an album you can listen to on Spotify, Apple Music, etc.  https://lnk.to/cRowiteiWE 

This year I had the opportunity to work on a dream project that exercised all of my creative muscles - music composing, as well as filming & editing. In March, I journeyed to the beautiful Arvo Pärt Centre in Estonia - a sanctuary in the middle of a forest. I filmed lots of footage of the making of Salu, a new sample library. I captured some amazing drone footage too, and got to spend time with Michael Pärt, Hendrik, and my friends from Orchestral Tools. I even saw Arvo himself several times when he would just walk in the room and go about his day, while I tried not to squeal with excitement!

Then I returned home and edited many videos over the course of 9 months - trailers, interviews, and tours of the property. But the crown jewel is a 12 minute documentary called “The inward journey: The making of Salu,” which I composed the music for using only the instruments from Salu. I’m quite proud of it and I hope I was able to capture a little bit of the spirit of the place. 

Thank you to Anne-Kathrin Dern for inviting me to write some additional music for the Claus Family 3! Check out her awesome new making-of video about the score for lots of great BTS footage, with a few appearances by yours truly. And the album is now available for streaming! 🎄🎅 

I had the honor of being on composer Anne-Kathrin Dern’s team and write some additional music for this fun holiday film! Check out this behind-the-scenes video for a peek into how it came together! 

If you’re wondering what I’ve been up to and curious about how I ended up being a film composer, I had a fun chat with the folks on the  @SoundironAudio   podcast! 

What better way to spend Labor Day weekend than listening to my new album “Reel One.” 😎  https://lnk.to/cRowiteiWE?fbclid=IwAR2zz8opgS7MZ2bKQ_h1BuNMBtn5EEXPybxegNp_R9WW0keFbLiC1wSbZh4
