Description

The clients needed the piece to be flexible so as many or as few elements could be mailed out. It needed to be visible in a sea of promotional mailings, so I decided to make it modular and red. The piece also needed to be expandable to accommodate continual updating. It took the better part of a year to complete. The piece is intended to solicit film score commissions, international music festival bookings and future tours. It is a way to improve my clients’ image beyond their humble East Village origins and act as a brief introduction to anyone unfamiliar with their work.
