Notasound composer Eric Maltz works with TK Digital to create 3 new commercials for Japanese cell provider Docomo USA
Notasound composer Eric Maltz worked with the Brooklyn based production company TK Digital to create 3 new commercials for Japanese cell provider Docomo USA.nnAfter providing the client with several music options, they chose an original piece called “Yeah! Sunday”. “His score was perfect” says Jeff Sousa, TK Digital‘s Editor, “It nailed the tone exactly. He was extremely flexible and creative in editing his original track to match our ever-changing cut.”nnEric went on set the day of the shoot to record the actors dialogue. Back in the studio, custom sounds were created for the Docomo Logo, and additional sounds were added to accent the on screen action.nnOne more day was spent doing the post mixes, with TK Digital‘s Teru Takayama (Director) and Jeff, at Notasound‘s studio. The client wanted the music to be loud, and we were happy to oblige. "We had to deliver to a few different stations with different requirements in terms of format and loudness levels. Eric took the guesswork out of all of that." Jeff continues, "On a professional level, Eric is extremely fun to work with and easy-going."nnEric Maltz began his career as the ‘in-house’ composer and engineer for Yessian’s New York studio, when it first opened in 2004. After a four year stay he left to become a freelance composer, and started Notasound in 2011. He’s written music for Blackberry, AT&T, Campbells Soup, Crocs, Ford, Kraken Rum, and many more.nn

“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
