5/8/20 – Our dear friend and longtime collaborator Robin Burdulis has been recording the percussion tracks for our Marry Harry film over the past few weeks in her Brooklyn apartment. The plan was to record the band at a New York sound studio in early April – but when COVID arrived and changed the way we do things – we sent the orchestrations to the musicians to record virtually – each alone in their apartment. The tracks will be assembled over the next few weeks – in time for our online film premiere on May 22nd!
