Michael Goldsmith recently moved from Chattanooga, Tennessee to Austin, Texas.  This made sitting down with him nigh impossible.  However, through the modern marvel of e-mail, I was able to ask him a few questions about writing the music for the first season of Remnants.

I’ve been meaning to write this for a while. And since I stayed home today to sip tea and guzzle Dimetapp, I thought now might be a good time to update everyone on all that is Remnants.

The teaser trailer is out! If you haven’t seen it yet, click, click, click your way over to it and watch it in all of its HD glory! It really looks fantastic (all praise be to Loren) and sets the proper tone for Season 1. As much as it shows, it doesn’t give away anything and, really, should give you a good idea of what you’re in for in Season 1. The music in the teaser is provided by Forest Magic, a local band who’s album “Is Energy” has not stopped playing on my iPod since I bought it. (more…)

We need music!

We have a composer for the show (one Michael Goldsmith), that’s not what I’m talking about. What I’m talking about is music that our characters are listening to (and possibly dancing to) in the show itself. What I would like to do with this is create an opportunity to show off some local bands and/or artists. But I’m not going to limit it to just local bands and/or artists. Anyone can submit a song. Here’s what you do:

• You pick out a song (or selection of songs) that you would like to submit.
• Send an mp3 of the song (or selection of songs) to tsfogg@gmail.com
• Boom. That’s it. If we like the song, and it fits into one of the scenes, it will become part of Remnants‘ soundtrack.

We are not in a place where we can pay anybody for anything (sorry, we’re trying to get there). But here’s what we can offer you:

• Exposure for you, your band, and your music. It’s going to be in a web series, which anyone in the world can click on and watch for free.
• Links on our website to your website.
• At the premiere (which will be held here in Chattanooga), you will be given stage time to play a 3 or 4 song set as well as a table to sell your merch.

We’re not looking for any particular genre. Whatever you have, whatever kind of artist you are, we’d like to hear it. Or if you know someone who’s trying to get a little bit bigger of an audience, link them to this page.

I look forward to hearing what you’ve got.
