Musical Themes

Hello Friends!

Today we’re dropping the final video in our series of seven short videos wherein we discuss our creative process and the lessons we learned along the way. In this video Jon talks about musical themes, mysteries hidden in the score, motivations foreshadowed in the music, and what the tones can tell you.


Seven Lessons – Lesson Seven, The Rite of Saturn: Musical Themes

In other exciting news, as of yesterday we are an official selection of the First Hermetic International Film Festival. We are awaiting some clarification on which categories we’ve been selected for, and will keep you in the loop as we find out.

As with the Festival in Madrid, this year this Festival in Venice, Italy will be taking place online. As we learn more details we share it here, in case any of you want to attend the gala event remotely!

Thanks again to everyone who has been watching The Rites of Eleusis, and sharing the videos with their friends. The outpouring of support has been moving, and we are so grateful to everyone who helped to make this work a reality!

In this video Melissa talks about the idea of “Found Objects Art”, which applies in ways that might surprise you!

During this week we are hoping to hear back from two more Film Festivals about whether or not The Rite of Saturn will be featured. We’ll let you know as soon as we do!

Once we have more information for virtual attendance at the Madrid International Film Festival, we will be posting it here as well!
