    Sound of Silent Film is coming on April 2, 2025 at the Music Box Theater in Chicago. You can check out the event details at acmusic.org.

    ACM’s documentary series is now streaming on PBS.org and broadcasting from PBS affiliates around the country. Season 2 is now available!

    ACM has a web site with info about the series: https://songsaboutbuildingsandmoods.com/watch/

    You can also stream the series on PBS: https://www.pbs.org/show/songs-about-buildings-and-moods/

    Locations for this one include Detroit, Chicago, New York, Mexico City, and Mansfield, OH. It was a blast to work on this, and it’s such a pleasure to work with Kim, Dave, and Seth on this project. Can’t wait for season 3 production to begin (spring/summer 2025)!
