Sampled children’s choir from Madagascar kicks in halfway through.

This was recorded with a Sanken CSS-5 stereo shotgun (beautiful mic) to Sony F-3 camera, then edited and (mildly) processed in Pro Tools.

New Light

First score with new Telecaster.

Ambient Guitars 7/22/11 by Doug Kaufman

Quick ethereal guitar track for recovery montage.

It’s been great working with the crews at SyFy and Mission Control Media to come up with the signature sounds for their newest show. Check it out on Tuesday nights @ 10.

Liberia by dkaufman

A collaboration with producer/photographer Matt Powell for a video bio project set in Liberia. We were trying to blend a minimalist African sound with atmospheric Western harmonies and electronic elements.

This is one of my favorite scores from this year; hand-built synths, acoustic toy museum, and lots of experimentation.

Elegant but punchy jazz trio with some Mojo horn flavor.

Filet Mignon

Improv piano with string trio, toy drum, xylophone and clarinet layered in.
