Campbell and Dr. Sleep combine their love for soundtracks, electronic music, sampling, found sounds, vintage synthesizers, drum machines, ambiance, and 70s rock to make lush atmospheric soundscapes that are both fragile and anthemic. In the beginning, Cooper Bombardier requested the use of our music as a backdrop to his spokenword for a national tour, and in the Summer of 2004 we won a Converse ad contest with two friends and filmmakers. For that project, we created a short 32-second score for a hand-etched film (the artist hand-etched all 400-plus frames with a microscope and Exacto knife). From there, we were approached by the MadCat Film Festival to do an original score to French feminist director Germaine Dulac's 1923 narrative silent film, "The Smiling Madame Beudet." In 2005, we were approached by Madcat again, this time to score live sound to experiment films by Emily Richardson ("Redshift") and Rose Lowder ("Bouquets 1-10"). The cassette tape and cd of these recordings was released Oct. 20. We are also on tour with Katastrophe Oct 26th - Novemeber 12. |
