SEAN'S SPACE

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace) .. I am a multi-instrumentalist (piano/drums/legit percussion/guitar/lap steel/pedal steel/bass/vocals/programming/engineering) who currently plays drums and keyboards in the two bands CYNIC and ÆON SPOKE. {www.myspace.com/cynicreunion and www.aeonspoke.com }The clip above is the film "The Yellow Umbrella". It won the Student Academy Award in 2001 for best animated short. I scored the music for the film using a combination of live musicians and playing orchestral samples off of my QS8 synth and Roland sampler. The voice over is a bit hard to hear on this stream so if you are interested in a better sounding version (where you can hear the story) go to ifilm.com and search for "The Yellow Umbrella".
