Back in NYC, spiralling inexorably towards Winter.
The new Nettle record has been released– El Resplandor: The Shining in Dubai is now available, and it’s pretty fantastic. Check it out.
Now back to finishing up all the work from my residency. It’s about results.
Summer was Rome, NYC, Maine, and Tangier. Was happy to record music for Louis C.K.’s TV show, do some very interesting projects with Nettle, a bunch of work with the brilliant Daniel Perlin, and co-produce those Kalup Linzy / James Franco tracks with DJ/Rupture. And now I’m hiding out in rural France for the Fall… finishing the score for Jamie Hook’s Vacationland, recording my new album, writing a book of music, and practicing a lot of cello.
Brent Arnold is a cellist and composer with a wildly unorthodox approach, using amplification, guitar-like fingerpicking, electronics, and techniques from Arabic, Eastern, and African music.
He has worked with DJ/Rupture, Modest Mouse, Wayne Horvitz, Eyvind Kang, Sleater-Kinney, Death in Vegas, and Filastine.
He composed the cello music for Louis C.K.'s show Louie and numerous films and shorts.
