Microcosm Soundtrack Finalized
After speaking with a lot of talented folks and running a gamut of music through Microcosm, we have some pretty sweet stuff. I’m really proud of this soundtrack, it’s rare for a short to have this many tunes, but I’m such a music dense director, it shouldn’t come as a shock. Still, with six tunes total rounding out the soundtrack we have about half of what you would see in a feature length of this nature and only a sixth of the running time.
Whoa.
Now my biggest danger might be that the film will only be remembered for the amazing soundtrack 
Anways, here’s the skinny:
Apparently Nothing is the only element of this film that isn’t Wisconsin, it’s Minnesota. But they’re in the Twin Cities which, as we all know, Wisconsin should annex anyway! They contributed a song a piece off their most recent releases: “Sprawl” and “& the Usual Things.” “Mutual Friend” will be setting the tone for the piece as it’s the first song played in the soundtrack. But it’s the electric track “Thirteen” that I think most of you will remember by the time the credits roll.
Awesome Car Funmaker has contributed two songs from their Green Means Go album. Their debut album features a lot of mood setting tunes that really worked well with Microcosm. The two tracks are “Take It,” which can be heard at the end of the Microcosm Sneak Preview and “Awesome Car Funmaker Part 1.”
Kaitlin and Ryan have been with us since the very beginning. They are two Wausau area high school senoirs, and so they are a perfect fit for a film that’s practically about their peers. Their track, “Summer,” graces the Microcosm trailer.
Rounding it out we’ve got Antigo-based Vinny Bex Dae. Originally just a twosome, they’ve added a rhythm section and have started to sound great, as shown by their contribution to the film: “A Lighter Heart.” You can take a listen to it at the beginning of the Microcosm Sneak Preview.
You can hear just how great these tracks sound with the visuals, performances and script of Microcosm at the premiere this Friday. 8:30 PM, The UWMC Theater. Can’t wait to see you there.
