Essie Jain’s melodic and sticking song “Raise You” that I had the privilege of Operating on with great Mark Schwartzbard (who also shot the Bryan Wizeman film “Think of Me” that’s making the festival circuit and grabbing awards left and right as we speak). We shot in a beautiful recording studio in the city with a live orchestra arranged and conducted by the iconic Nico Muhly. His ability to tweak on the spot, to my untrained ear, was pretty astounding. The true test was when we asked these elite musicians what they thought of him, (aka whether he was all hype…he’s arranged for Bjork, Grizzly Bear, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, etc) and an earnest, “No he IS actually amazing” affirmed the impression.
