Hi Everybody!
Personal note: To Clair...My heart goes out to you for your loss hun. Your friends have your back.
Welcome to the new members. I am excited to see you here!
I hope this finds you all doing well and life is treating you great! OK, lets get into the meat of this post.
FIRST OFF, Damien Project Film Works is involved with a few collabs with an old friend and a new friend. A couple of the songs I can't reveal yet, to the request of the other, until they are both done. I have worked with this awesome performer before and She knows I get excited so She asked me to chill. I can do that occasionally!

SECOND, I am really excited because the two songs I have worked with involving Margret Avery from NYC are being mastered as I type. The songs were "Laughter In The Rain" and "My Last Moment". I enjoyed throughly working with Margret and am expecting the songs to be excellent because her vocal style is soulful and powerful. I am excited about the opportunity to work with Her again in the near future and am expecting some good interest in these two songs!

THIRD, some really good news I just found out before I even finished with this post! There is a film called "Subject B5" that I had done the trailer music for and have now been officially asked to score the movie! Sweet! Along with the scoring they director and effects man that I speak with are wanting to add a opening song and an ending title credits tune. Well, They have picked "The Sadness of Glory" (www.soundclick.com/damienproject) for the ending sequence and just want to see if vocals can be added to it! I will be contacting some of you to see if you can contribute. It is a time sensitive item looking at maybe a 4-5 month window tops so keep that in mind! As for the score, it will be starting as soon as the clips come in which is soon!

Well, Thats about it for now! :) Music is beautiful and looking awesome!!
Remember: www.jdrf.org It is what started all of this :)

Stay true to your dreams and hopes
Mark

10/24/2008 News and Welcome

Hi to everyone and thank you for coming along for the ride! I would first like to start by welcoming You to the world of DAMIEN PROJECT FILM WORKS and to say it is most appreciated You are here with us.
First I am going to explain why this blog is even here:
1) For my non musical friends to see what it is I do and the weird and unique world of being a musician or writer. Musicians and writers are an interesting group that are generally quite misunderstood because what we do is a very personal and private thing but at the same time is also something that is shared with millions. What a contrast to say the least. But for my non musical friends read below also!

2) For my musician friends to coexist and to share ideas about music and to work together on projects that DAMIEN PROJECT FILM WORKS, or your own works, might be involved in and need ideas You may not have. I actively pursue any type of art or business format that may be in need of music. When these items are obtained, I would gladly look for input and ideas for us to work together and make these endeavours a success that would benefit all musicians involved. As for those of You who aren't musicians, this is a business opportunity if You can assist us with getting work and You also would share in the benefits. I think this could be a fabulous idea for all involved. The time You wanted to put in, large or small, would be valued. Happen to hear a conversation or see on the internet or in your business, that someone needs music for a project? Well there You go. You tell us and the rest is history!

3) Also I am here to represent Juvenile Diabetes and to be a voice for the Youth that suffer from this disease and have no voice to get their cause out. My interest in this is one of my daughters, Tori who is almost 9, has had Type 1 since She was a year and a half old. This is how all of this started way back when and I don't lose focus on that!

So jump on in....have a seat...run your mouth..lets make something happen!!!! We all know the competition is strong out in the world so if We stand together it is better for the group as a whole! Well, that's what I think at least :)
