One of the many non-work-related
projects I'm currently toying with in my spare time is a short flick, a "mini-musical", with three intertwining numbers. A friend of mine --
Bjørn Arve Lagim, who wrote the award-winning
score for
The Longest Journey -- is composing the music, while I'm writing the lyrics and the screenplay. It's a "just for fun" project, a seven-minute tribute to a genre I really, really love. We've wanted to do a musical for quite a while (if the
Anarchy Online animated series hadn't been put on hold, we might have done a musical episode at some point!), and since few attempt to do musical shorts (and I'm not talking about music videos), we thought, Hey!, why not? So there you go. We'll see what happens.
If-
slash-when we start recording the three songs, prior to shooting the short, I'll post some MP3 snippets on this site. They might suck. I've done lots of sucky stuff before.
