The FatLab Music Blog
My nephew spent last week with us in New York. Last summer he attended the New York Film Academy tweens program, so this summer we thought it would be fun to make some actual short films. Cameron directed each of the shorts, and I wrote the music. Our good friend Emily Otto even joined us in Washington Square Park very early one morning to star in “Only One Spoon”. Enjoy!
And don’t miss this from the “Special Features” section of the DVD:
About the only thing left in my world that doesn’t adjust itself to Daylight Savings Time are my WordPress installations. So, along with that wall clock and old VCR, don’t forget to set your blogs ahead one hour, too.
In your control panel, go to:

Unix time clicked past this magic number today at 6:31:30 PM EST. I use Unix time alot in PHP, so this means something to me at least.
We got up early today to vote, evidently so did much of our ‘hood.
It’s taken nearly 45mins to walk the sidewalk along Hayden Hall, and we’ve yet to turn the corner. Maybe a machine is broken… we always have the pull-lever kind, tho much of NYC is supposed to be on electronic machines by now. Not sure which kind I trust more anyway.
There is a district with hardly any residents in line, and they all get to go immediately to the front. There is talk of our building seceeding to that district. Watchout 80th, revolution is afoot!!
For three summers now, FatLab Music has supplied soundtracks to theme parks for IAAPA Award-Winning medley shows, fireworks spectacles, and lately, more and more kids’ shows. We provide original theme songs, reinterpreted arrangements, karaoke-style transcriptions, audio editing, pre-tracked vocals, and so on.
We are the “music guys” for two great companies: RWS & Associates Entertainment, Inc., whose live entertainment character properties include the CBS Television lineup and HIT Entertainment’s portfolio (“Thomas and Friends”, “Barney”, “Bob The Builder”), and Manhattan Creative Group.
Our shows are wrapping up their summer season, so we thought it was a good time to share a demo reel of some of our Children’s Show work to-date.
