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.

We're stoked to report that next Tuesday, Nov 28th, 2017 is our visual single premiere for MOONLIGHTING MISSION MAN, though, it's also a completely standalone film with a different title altogether; "what do you know of water's worth while standing on the banks of the euphrates".
We produced a completely original score for this as well. Tune in. ✌🏾
We scored an original track for the upcoming, award-winning arthouse feature film MAN, Keep an eye on this or go to www.amirmotlagh.com for more info.
We stumbled upon this recently. This was an alternative cover for our 2012 single, TAKE AWAY.
Art directed by us & artist/designer Ali Sabet , who did the illustration as well. (he's been blowing up for which we say, long overdue friend, long overdue.)
This was appropriated from another classic image from cinema. Who can guess. We will send you our whole discography.
