“Le Matin” (2020) by Carolyna Picknick steps out of the purely string band/Appalachian/bluegrass vibe of the self-titled debut album, and incorporates a touch of sweetly-orchestrated old world sound made for Hollywood, or at least made in Hollywood…
Started in San Francisco and finished in Los Angeles, the completion of Le Matin features compositions Mouzhan (2, 3, 6, 9, & 12), Dina Maccabbee, Sylvain Carton, Dan Cantrell, and highlights guest performers Dan Cantrell (accordion/mallets) and Marie Abé (accordion) on a few of the tracks.
Musings EP (2019)
The debut album by Mouzhan & Sylvain blends exotic instruments and Eastern whispers with electro dance party tech, creating a rich live electronica-world-music dish. ‘Musings’ is not only a duo work, but a collection of pieces from an open collaboration between various guest artists (from Beats Antique, Thao & the Get Down Stay Down, the Broadway show ‘Wicked,’ The Cottontails, John Vanderslice, and The Japonize Elephants).

Girlboss: Rethink The Ratio
Uber and Girlboss teamed up and invited women entrepreneurs to what they thought was a ‘focus group’ meeting — turns out they were having us choose the boss!
[The video contains hidden camera footage of my entering what I believe to be an actual focus group, then leads to clips of the interview after they reveal the purpose behind their test! The music heard is not my composition.]
