I just completed this piece for the Third Coast Festival Short Doc competition.

As a freelancer, there are so few opportunities to do truly creative work with sound. The folks at Third Coast give us an opportunity to do just that – to think about sound in new ways, challenging us to break out of our day jobs and get creative. The winners get all expenses paid to the conference in October, but for me, it’s not about winning. It’s about doing a piece that I feel good about.

Here’s the piece I did for the competition in 2007. It’s called My Bike Had a Burger Bell: A Tragic Tale of Life and Woe.

The Great Textbook War keeps raking in the awards – this time a 2010 National Edward R. Murrow Award. Go Trey! (Trey Kay is the producer and brain behind the doc and the guy who hired me to help out.) I’m so honored to have my name in the credits, and I’m so thankful that Trey brought me on board.

I had the great fortune to work on this hour-long radio documentary with producer Trey Key, who won a 2010 Peabody Award for the piece. Trey recorded his scratch tracks in my new home studio, and I’m hoping that sets the bar high for the work that will be produced out of there. I edited the scratch tracks and did a rough mix of the full doc which was a lot of fun. Great to work on a project that gets some well-deserved recognition! Listen to the final, full-length doc here.
