Brap Lubba Boom

This is the second time I've collaborated with my dad on a track and by far the most fun I've had making music.  He's been retired for a few years and taking it pretty easy, as he should, but he always comes through when I want to work with him on some music.  All I have to do is get the ball rolling and wait for whatever awesomeness he comes up with.  Then he has to wait for me to put it all together.  Next time we do this, it's going to be something completely insane... that is a promise I can keep too.

From the Vault - Quebec Charlie

I initially wrote  Quebec Charlie  in 2006 for the closing credits of  a film project I had been percolating for some time.

Oh yes.

It's true.

I was an aspiring filmmaker, but that was before I started writing music.  To this day there are far too many people in my life who only know me as an aspiring filmmaker and keep waiting for me to put away this silly music hobby so I can get back on the horse and fulfill their dreams of knowing someone who made a movie. 

But I digress...

Quebec Charlie is either interesting or uninteresting (depending on how you look at it, I suppose) because it demonstrates one of my heaviest musical influences outside of my parents, Clint Mansell.  If you don't immediately recognize the homage or tribute then you'll never know what the hell I'm talking about, but that would only put you in the vast majority anyway.
