He Can Jog - KlawBerry Theme
Release StoreTags: children's book, toy piano
-->
Hey All --
I'm collaborating with the hugely talented Daniel Davis on a read-along score for his children's book, KlawBerry. This is the KlawBerry website: link
This is very much a sketch! We're just getting started on the project, but I'm very excited and I wanted to share! | |

This is great. It seems a little down for a kid tune, but maybe the story is a little sadder than the usual stuff. Very evocative.
Listening to this made me wonder about "kid friendly" instruments, but then I realized that they probably like anything as long as it isn't distorted.

Ooh very much like it!
There's some serious dynamics-- loud to quiet-- and I was a bit startled when the non toy piano comes in
very... i dunno... imaginitive. And now seeing what its for... well, I kinda thought this sounded like a soundtrack to a horror movie made for little kids.
Maybe the release pic tipped me off, tho.

LOL @ jdg disgusting mlbot.
If kids like distortion...does this mean we should expect kevin shields doing a children's record?

wow greatness. Is this Davis giving you thematic and conceptual direction in the colab or is he the author saying, "here, make music for this"
or is he a musician and you two are collabing on the score?
Thats fun stuff... I really like the thematic composition avenue.
when you do more of these, post em!

thanks nick and everyone! the story itself is kinda dark and then triumphant - sort of a children's book for grown-ups, but still appropriate for kids. daniel is a musician as well, but he's just giving me suggestions and guidance on mood and etc, and i'm doing the music. he already did a kickass book, so it's up to me to try to do something up to par for it!
we're talking about collaborative performances/readings too, it should be fun - i've wanted to do something like this for quite some time now.
