I won a Best Score/Soundtrack award!!

I just got news that one of my songs won an award for Best Score/Soundtrack at the Connecticut Film Festival this weekend!

This is from the Music Supervisor/Associate Producer:

“I want to congratulate all of the bands as well as our composer Joe Carrano for the BEST SCORE/SOUNDTRACK award we won at the Connecticut Film Festival this weekend!

This is your award!  We are very proud of Joe and all the great bands that have contributed to the soundtrack of this film.

We are very grateful for this award and are not surprised in getting it due to the incredible talent that you all have contributed.  Even before the film was officially premiered, the soundtrack always tested very high.

Please share your accomplishment with your fans and friends…you all deserve a share in the praise!

The next stops for the film will be: The Rhode Island International Film Festival and the Woods Hole Film Festival.  Both of these festivals are very well thought of and have premiered some pretty big films in the past (e.g. Rhode Island premiered the hit “Something about Mary”) so keep your figures crossed

As far as GoodNight Film, we have been very busy in preproduction with two new films that will be co-produced by Baldwin Entertainment Group (producers of the academy award winning film “Ray” ).  Both of these films will be directed by A.D.Calvo (director/writer/editor/producer of “The Other Side of the Tracks”).  One of these two projects is a new script written by A.D.   Both of these projects are amazing (I’m especially excited about the creepy script written by A.D.!).  I really wish I could say more about both these projects and will soon…

Again, the producers and myself want to extend a huge THANK YOU for your contributions to the “Award Winning” soundtrack of this film…this is your award and something to be very proud of….THANK YOU!

Take care,

…Ed

USA tour

As you may know I’m playing the Lollapalooza in Chicago August 1st but I’m also doing a full tour the week before so if you can’t make it to Chicago, check out my website to see if I’ll be visiting your home town.

Video recorded

We’ve spent all day recording the video for “As summers pass”. Here’s som pics of me in one of my video outfits. The extraordinary dress is designed and sewn by Sanna Nyström. I love the big bow on the shoulder, it makes me look like a doll

Let me review your songs!

I’ll be the guest judge in the Industry Pro Panel on Songbox.se next month, so if you have a bunch of songs just laying in a drawer at home (or a bunch of songs that you play all the time for that matter), become a member and send them to Songbox for a review.
As a Songbox Pro Member you can each month send your songs to the Industry Pro Panel and get guaranteed feedback. The panel enables you as a musician/artist to get concrete tips and constructive criticism from people who are in the business - giving you an opportunity to develop as an artist and become more successful in your career. 

In my upcoming video…

… I’ll be dressed as a lamp shade! Nah, just kidding. The dress is going to be beautiful, and though it might look like a stripped lamp shade, this is actually a crinoline. Read more about crinolines here!

Video in progress!

In a few weeks the first single from my upcoming album “Jonestown” will be released. We’re also releasing a video to the single and the preparations are in full progress. The talented designer/tailor Sanna Nyström will design a beautiful dress for me to wear in the video, and today we met up to discuss her thoughts about the design and take some measurements. Here’s a sneak preview of the design. Check out more of Sannas work on http://www.myspace.com/sannanystrom
