On October 13th, I had great pride in being involved with the Laramie Project 10 Years Later reading, which was produced simultaneously around the world over October 12th and 13th, in over 150 theatres in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and other places. I wanted to make my own little contribution to the event, so I offered various theatre companies access to my music for the original Laramie Project score, and it was subsequently used in the productions staged in Melbourne, New Zealand and Dallas.

It's been a while since my last blog. The year is slipping away from us! 2009, where did you go?

I'm really looking forward to the coming year, despite all of the doom and gloom of the world economic crisis that we keep hearing about. After all, it's during these sort of times that artists find their real voices, isn't it? Plus, after surviving the recent heatwave that swept across the south east of Australia, I reckon that I can out last any old financial crisis!

Andrew is currently composing the music for a short feature, entitled Bottom Dollar, directed by Tim Duncan. The movie is about a chance meeting between a downtrodden saxophonist and a gambler, and the life changing decisions that each one makes after this meeting. The film will be screening later in 2008. Andrew has previously composed music for director Tim Duncan's short comedy The Daily Grind, starring Steve Mouzakis (Blue Heelers, The Secret Life Of Us).
