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

New York, New York

Some of you know this was a B-side on my first single “Stop”, the song “New York, New York” that is. Anyways, after a long trip through California and Nevada I ended up in New York for some meetings. Then I headed back to cold and snowy Sweden (hey I thought it would be spring by now).
I had a lovely meeting at Universal and met with the cool rock band Nova Clutch in Brooklyn.
Check out their music here

Singing for a free Burma

I recently joined up with the site friaburma.nu where you easily can donate money through a text message (sms) to help the struggle for freedom in Burma.

The result is a video of me performing one of the songs from my upcoming album live in a studio while being filmed. The song is called Arms and Armour (lyrics available on www.myspace.com/sofiatalvik ) and you can now watch the live video on friaburma.nu or directly here below:
