MIRS has two tracks featured in the upcoming feature films, MAN & Three Worlds that screen as an Amir Motlagh double feature preview screening in Chicago 4/21 at 6pm. The show is hosted by Chicago Filmmakers.
Other music artists featured in the films include LA's Kid Gusto, France's 1982paris and Chicago's Stephen Holliger (Swim Ignorant Fire) who also sound designed both pictures.
The score of Three Worlds was composed by Julian DW Brink, and it is an incredible score.
Info about the two films:
MAN (2018) is a vertité-style day-in-the-life story about a computer programmer who lives a secluded existence in L.A.'s Laurel Canyon. His sole real-life companions are his two dogs; everyone else--friends, colleagues, family--he only connects with through technological mediation, via phones and computers. Three Worlds (2018) is a psychological science fiction drama that explores the three lives, or 'worlds,' of a man who undergoes an experiment that triggers haunting memories and alternate life 'memories.'
MIRS has an original composition in the upcoming feature film project, MAN This is the first available teaser trailer.
Most of the music was done by Chicago based sound engineer/musician Stephen Holliger and it's absolutely terrific.
