Jingle Punks was selected to be the sole music provider for Huggies upcoming 12 webisode series. We’re excited to be working with Punched In the Head Productions on this.
It’s not the first time the Punks were tapped by America’s favorite baby brand… Last year, the Huggies Cleanteam Campaign used Jingle Punks music for a spot that was played in front of all PG and G rated films during the first quarter of ’08 and continues to run on networks such as Disney, Nickelodeon and PBS.
Last year I was asked by my friend Rich Rugierro to adapt Wagner music from a 19 hour opera cycle and turn it into a 20 minute score for his directorial debut. This was a huge challenege at took many hours, revisions and discussions to get it to where it is today.
This weekend Rich sent around a link to a trailer for this film. Here it is. 1 of 2 festival films I was lucky enought to be part of.

Make sure to catch it when it hits the festival circuit in the coming months.
Dear Friends,
Here are a few selections from the session which took place at Legacy Studios this past week. I got to conduct an 8 piece orchestra with players from the NYC Philharmonic and a harp player from the Metropolitan Opera. I was lucky enough to receive entrance into the emerging ASCAP composers workshop at Columbia’s Graduate film program. The final pieces will be heard at the Columbia film fest April 30th. Go here to buy tickets…if you decide to come, let me know and we can all go as a group and see some cool films by a great batch of new film makers.
As a side note
You’ll hear the masterwork of Rich Ruggiero on the cue called Journey to the Stars. I also wanted to send a HUGE thank you to Lon Kaiser for helping me arrange my compositions for the session. I literally would have be shred to pieces if you had not stepped in. Cheers!
Ok, here they are…
Hope you dig it!
