I've found an incredible presence of creative minds online, but of all the sites I frequent, Something Awful has to be one of the most supportive and inspiring. Their forums boast an impressive community of painters, writers, musicians, filmmakers, sculptors, etc.
When I decided that the best route for The Monument was to use music, I recalled hearing a few tracks from a musician on Something Awful that I really felt captured the sense of emptiness in our short.
Disparition, a solo project, specializes in ambient electronic pieces that draw their influences from several genres including industrial, experimental, and folk. The tracks we used in the film were from the album "1989", an album that explores the Romanian Revolution.
Jon Bernstein, the man behind Disparition, was immensely generous lending his music to the film free of charge. What's more impressive is that Jon has all of his albums available on his website for free.
I thought I would take the opportunity to share with you some of Jon's music. I'd also like to thank Jon for helping us out in making this film have a feel we'd certainly struggle to accomplish without his talents.
You can download Disparition's music and learn more about Jon at his website.
