Lawrence MA helps Haiti

The "Trust & Believe" charity single for Haiti is now available at http://www.lawtownvoice.com! The song was written by Lawrence electronica/dance music artist Bylli Crayone, and members of LawTown Voice.

I'm creating the We-Are-The-World-inspired music video and making-of video for this "note"worthy project uniting Lawrence rappers and singers for a common good.

Also some great bridges built on the music side of MILLIES.

A catchy little tune for a great cause.

Keeping an ear out with these Lawrence rappers, singers and hip-hop artists to hear if there may be a sound or two for the MILLIES soundtrack in the group.

Lorre is one of the Nicest Filmmakers Ever

Other than my name spelled incorrectly (a common mistake, admittedly), this is a decent article covering the fun Berklee College of Music Film & Networking event:

Most hilarious was the designation as the nicest filmmakers ever. We panelists had all worked with composer Jeanine Cowen on past projects (which is why we were at Berklee with her in the first place) and apparently gushed about the experiences. Hey, we get enough negativity in this business, we don't mind ac-centuating the positive once in a while.

Lorre @ Berklee Film & Music event April 10, 2009

A terrific and long-time-coming event at the prestigious Berklee College of Music brings aspiring composers together with filmmakers. The Music For Film Networking Event is a fantastic way for student composers to play samples of their work directly into filmmakers' ears via a number of laptop/headphones stations at the Berklee Media Center. This is the 4th year and it promises to be an extremely popular event once again.

I will be speaking on a panel discussing the collaboration between filmmaker and composer, which is a terrific topic to me because the music is CRITICAL to a film. Many indie filmmakers overlook this fact at their own peril. Film and music - two of my favorite topics together - it's like a production Oreo cookie to me and I'm very excited to discuss it.

The list of gifted musicians to go through the Berklee program is extensive. And it is a wise and practical move to pair talented composers trying to get a foot in the door, with filmmakers who may not have a budget for an established composer. It is the ultimate win-win on both sides of the film reel.

Last year, it was packed with quite a diverse international group of young composers representing multiple genres of music. This is the official registration information:
