Where Have All The Kiwi Soundtracks Gone?

My fascination with film scores – listening to them, collecting them – began with a New Zealand movie. But you wouldn’t have such luck now. When I was a kid the Footrot Flats movie, A Dog’s Tail Tale, was a local blockbuster. It was at the cinemas, at a time when not every Kiwi film […]

Erik Wøllo / Michael Stearns: Convergence

Erik Wøllo / Michael Stearns Convergence Projek Records I found this record recently in a beautiful fluke – well, a routine search for ambient/space records I guess. What a find. I knew Michael Stearns’ fine work – particularly his score for Baraka (and its ‘sister’ films). He made ambient electronic music in the late 1970s […]

When In Doubt, OST!

There aren’t many rules in our house – but a big one is to not have the music too loud unless we all agree, unless it’s party time, unless I’m in the house alone. And to not have competing sounds – no music blasting in one room with a TV still on somewhere else, all […]

Rhian Sheehan: Recollections, Vol. 1

Rhian Sheehan Recollections, Vol. 1 LOOP Rhian Sheehan has been releasing music under his own name for close to a quarter of a century now – and maybe it was the lockdown that forced a slow-down to take stock, though you could never say that Sheehan has rushed into anything with music. His albums, and […]

Stubs: # 274 – Rhian Sheehan, Wellington, 2018

I’ve seen Rhian Sheehan a bunch of times. And it’s always been great – always a variation of the same sorts of moods and feels and vibe; many of the same pieces even. But it always has a new flavour too. So it’s never (just) repetition. I’ve seen this sort of show from him develop […]

Rhian Sheehan: We Are Stars [OST]

Rhian Sheehan We Are Stars [OST] 360.com Fans of Rhian Sheehan’s music could sense both a fascination with space and with film scores – before he was ever overtly working in the industry. Well, it was never hidden, more a preoccupation. Those two vestiges come together perfectly for this aspect of his occupation here, with […]

Sweetman Podcast: Episode 21 – Jesse Sheehan

Here we are now with episode 21 of the podcast. A conversation with Jesse Sheehan. He’s a young guy with talent. I knew that when I first heard him – he has that effect. He’s most certainly one to watch I reckon. And in fact I have found some of his life performances jaw-droppingly good. […]
