Greetings! We haven't spammed, errr, updated you in awhile, so here's the scoop on what's been happening at our studio...

"It belongs in a museum." (Indiana Jones)

MarcoCo. recently did some space traveling, providing music and sound for a number of exhibits at Seattle's new Science Fiction museum. Housed in Paul Allen's Experience Music Project building, the museum's exhibits track the genre from Mary Shelley's 1818 novel "Frankenstein" through the atomic war stories of the early 1940's, TV's "The Jetsons", "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Star Wars" and "The Matrix".
If you find yourself in the Pacific Northwest...don't miss it!

Television news...

Marco worked with Afghan musicians to produce the score to "Afghanistan: Hell of a Nation". Directed by Tamara Gould and produced by Bonni Cohen of Actual Films, this film investigates the ability of the war-torn country to go from despotism to democracy in three years. World premiere is on PBS' Wide Angle series September 9 at 9:00 p.m.

Continuing on the doc circuit, Marco d'Ambrosio is currently laying down the final tracks to the score to "Self-Made Man", a documentary by Susan Stern, director of "Barbie Nation". It will be scheduled to air early next year on PBS.

Live and Theatrical Screening Opps.

You can still catch what the SF Chronicle called "one of the top theatre events [of the year]".
For those willing to take a skip North of the Golden Gate Bridge, Josh Kornbluth will be performing his latest show "Love and Taxes" in Mill Valley. After runs across the country from SF to NYC, you can see his comic brilliance and neurotic charm at 142 Throckmorton Theatre in MV from August 6 - 22. You can also hear Marco's music delicately weaving through the on stage action.

"Red Diaper Baby" hits the Mill Valley Festival. Josh Kornbluth's concert film will screen at this year's fest in October. Marco provided a dark, moody, chamber music score. Music Supervision by Terri d'Ambrosio. The film was directed by Doug Pray and Produced by Brian Benson.

"Double Dare" goes International! After winning awards at the AFI, SF International, and Boston Film Festivals, Amanda Micheli's highly popular documentary on stuntwomen will screen in September at the Toronto Film Festival. It will air on PBS' Independent Lens series next summer. Post-punk, techno, rock-a-billy score by Marco. Music Supervision by Terri.
