Hello again,

"Struggle For Existence" will be screening in October as part of the Hawai'i International Film Festival - specifically, on Saturday, October 16, at 12:00pm and Wednesday, October 20, at 3:15pm at Dole Cannery B for both shows.

Laurie Sumiye's "Struggle For Existence" won the award for best documentary at CUNY film festival in New York earlier this year and I am glad to have been part of this production. In January of this year, I actually got to be in the field near the summit of Mauna Kea, HI, for some filming and field-sound-recording for this documentary about the endangered Hawaiian bird, the Palila. The film questions how life is valued and preserved by man as a species nears extinction, through looking at past and present conservation efforts. I finished composing and recording the score for the film in mid May

On another note, the free download of a double-track from our new BOUNCING BULLETS album, called "Mutanten", is still available. The double-track includes "Interior View" and "Haende". In order to fit all 14 tracks of this new album onto the Myspace limit of ten songs we had to pair up six tracks into double-tracks. “Interior View” and “Haende” (which starts at 3’04 in this double-feature) both utilize electronic and acoustic instrumentation as well as DJ/ turntable elements. Additionally, my production partner Einhard Luther recorded a spoken word part on “Haende” which he wrote after waking up from a vivid dream. He's posted the poem on his newest Blog, if you should feel inclined to read along in German.

Check out the FAHLINGMUSIC ONLINE LICENCING LIBRARY - All tracks from "Mutanten" can be acquired for music licensing here, too. Enjoy!
