Music and Ambiance For Film

Paisley Babylon has been involved in soundtrack work over the last few years, but there’s been a greater demand for it as of late. Filmmakers who need unique, unusual, and ear-grabbing soundtrack music or atmospheres should get in touch. My rates are indie-friendly and I am happy to discuss barter on a case-by-case basis. Projects with a budget will find my rates quite reasonable.

Since 1997, I’ve worked with artists and galleries in a variety of ways from providing opening night DJ services to video/audio art installations and custom sound design. I’ve also scripted, shot, edited and distributed promotional videos for artists, collectives and galleries. I don’t do DJ work these days except on a very limited basis, but I’m always open to discussing interesting possibilities.

Background

I started doing gallery openings and installations with the San Antonio, Texas audio art collective Crevice. I also did gallery openings as Paisley Babylon and several gallery shows and performances with the San Antonio group Pink Filth.

Here’s a selected list of events and gallery-related work I’ve done in sound design, video, and multi-media for artists, galleries, and theatres:

• 1997-1998 Blue Star Arts Space, San Antonio Texas–A variety of sound design and performance pieces as Paisley Babylon and with the group Crevice.
• 2001 Sala Diaz Gallery, San Antonio, Texas–Sugar Shock! A Super-Chewy Delicious Multimedia Extravaganza by Pink Filth (Jeff & Jess DeCuir, Bryan Stanchak,& Joe Wallace).

When it comes to my work in the arts, payment is often an issue for cash-strapped artists and small galleries. I am willing to discuss barter, trading services for installation opportunities, any combination of cash payment and barter, etc. Galleries with funding can expect reasonable rates.

Artists and galleries should know I am heavily involved with social media and online promotion of the events I’m involved with as well as the traditional flyers and media opportunities.

I aggressively promote the events I work on and the galleries/artists I associate with for these events. You are not just getting sound design, DJing,promotional video or audio installation work when working with me–you also get additional PR and visibility for your event–I run four blogs, plus Twitter and Facebook accounts with a combined audience of more than 10,000 across all platforms.
