In the height of lockdown – January 2021- I did a couple of short films for a great young Canadian director called Jacqui Drager who is definitely going places! There are a couple of comic shorts called Irish and Ash.
I worked with Antonia Pagulatos for both films as i needed an expert fiddle player that could really capture the Irish vibes needed for both films. It was my first experience working remotely with a session player and if it hadn’t been anyone else but Antonia who knows what the results would have been. But you don’t become Damon Albarn’s go-to violin (and viola) player for the last 16 years (in ALL his many many projects) without being able to deliver. So I was delighted with the results. In fact in Ash she went way beyond the call of duty and I offered her a co-composer credit. She was that good!
Here are some of the musical moments in the films
