Now that editing is complete, work is underway on the musical score for Oh Crappy Day. We have a crack team of composers and musicians, spanning the globe from Los Angeles to London. Their mission: convey the emotions of a young man with OCD, as he searches for love and acceptance. Fortunately, our team has all the skills and experience necessary:
Trevor Bumgarner is a North Carolina composer, living in Los Angeles. He studied at UNC-Greensboro, as well as The Juilliard School, where he was the inaugural recipient of the Juilliard Career Advancement Fellowship. He has created music for films, off-Broadway shows, and the Choreographic Institute of the New York City Ballet. He has also served as a teaching artist at Juilliard and the Bridge Composition Program of the New York Philharmonic.
Andre DiMuzio is a multi-instrumental artist and arranger from Tokyo. Utilizing his degree in music theory and composition, he has worked as a producer under the moniker Odd Cardinal. Now living in London, he performs and arranges music for a multitude of independent artists. Since 2005, he has maintained a musical partnership with Chris Hendricks, as members of a band called Castle Wild.
Chris Hendricks, a performer since the age of four, has shared the stage with artists such as Amy Grant, Daughtry and Dave Matthews. This North Carolinian has written music for television, web series, and films, not to mention Major League Soccer and the National Hockey League. In addition, he has a prolific speaking career and does community outreach through his non-profit organization, Perfectly Afflicted.
Along with original music, the score for Oh Crappy Day will incorporate a classical piece by Franz Schubert and the melody from the nineteenth-century hymn, "Oh Happy Day." (New lyrics for this hymn have been created by Jon Lance Bacon, our writer-director.) Trevor, Andre, and Chris are already working on arrangements that unify these various pieces of music. We can't wait to hear what they create — and to share it with all of you!
