Howdy folks! Just wanted to let you know about a new Faux Fix song that we’re inviting people to collaborate with us on. The tune is called Little Smokestacks and we’re working on it with everyone over at Hit Record! Check out the links below and come work with us!
ATTN: VISUAL ARTISTS & MUSICIANS: COME WORK W/ US ON A NEW SHORT FILM!
Nathan Johnson (who composed “Brick” & “Looper”) & Katie Chastain of FauxFix RECorded this beautiful song at Sundance entitled “Little Smokestacks” » LISTEN HERE!

Here’s how you can contribute to this collaboration:
ILLUSTRATORS: Draw visuals that go with the song - be as creative as you’d like!
ANIMATORS: Take visuals from hitRECord & put them into motion for this Short Film.
CINEMATOGRAPHERS: Grab your cameras & shoot some winter imagery.
VIDEO EDITORS: Cut together visuals from the site. Specifically, check out the “RE: Snow” collaboration for some wintery resources.
VOCALISTS: Sing some Harmonies or RECord “Ooh”s & “Ahh”s so they can be remixed together to simulate the sound of breath.
INSTRUMENTALISTS: It’d be great to have some Electronic Beats added, in addition to other Instruments & Sound Effects.

Hey everyone, we’re working with Hit Record to further produce our new song, “Little Smokestacks” (written at Sundance 2013). In addition to more musical production, we’d love to see a short film or animation emerge based on the song :) If you aren’t familiar with Hit Record, please check out this fabulous hub of collaboration!
Early sketches for the traveling wine-o-phone. Cinematic Underground tour, 2005
We used tuned wine glasses quite a bit on the score for Brick, but as we prepared for the US Cinematic Underground tour, I started thinking about a way to travel with them. Little did I know that my eventual collaborator Jonny Rodgers was simultaneously working on a design, which would go on to accompany the Faux Fix tour years later. His version was much more reliable (the glasses were glued in to a flight case with built-in mics), and while ours were taped into a rickety suitcase, we did think to fill it with christmas lights, so at least that was a score on the visual side of things.
Well, we’re headed to Toronto for the Looper premier, but in the meantime, check out this cue from the soundtrack to The Day I Saw Your Heart (aka Et Soudain Tout Le Monde Me Manque). It has been unavailable in the US for a while, but you can buy it now over on iTunes! Complete with a new Faux Fix song, along with a song I wrote and performed for the movie called Suddenly.
A little blast from the past, circa 2007. This is our very first collaboration with Mr. Son Lux. Little did we know there would be many more to come…
He snagged and remixed a little vocal clip from “Easy Days & I” — a song off my first solo record, Firecracker. Have a listen!
Finally have a breather to jump back into the raw footage from the My Antagonist video that we shot in an empty house on Cape Cod two years ago. This is the second video I’ve gotten to work on this week. There’s something I love about editing, and it seems to apply to video just as much as it does to audio projects.

Hi folks! Here are a few more photos by Brendan David Coyne that recently surfaced via spiritedmag from the Faux Fix show in Boston. The bottom photo almost convinced me that we were touring in 1978.
Thanks to Amanda for hosting a great evening.
