"Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustable well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that is so deeply part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it. Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps 20. And yet it all seems limitless." ~paul bowles

“The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.”

"When real music comes to me - the music of the spheres, the music that surpasses understanding - that has nothing to do with me, cause I'm just the channel. The only joy for me is for it to be given to me, and to transcribe it like a medium... those moments are what I live for." ~ john lennon

Shame the sound quality is not so good - interesting, nonetheless

I wrote a number of carnival-themed cues for his podcasts

The Human Marvels website is at

Very interesting stuff there, and kudos to Mr. Pednaud for his efforts compiling and presenting it.

Not my music, but a little quickly put together promo for my second short film, The Wishing Nether - again featuring the considerable talents of J Marie, Eric Hunter, Ben Sharp and Owen O'Neill. The music is a mix of Arvo Pärt and Amiina.

   About Devin Anderson Wiley
  • Composition, Sound Design, Filmmaking and General Mayhem.

    Born in San Diego, California in 1980, Devin Anderson has studied classical piano with Nancy Bussard, composition with Prix de Rome winner Jim Heinke, film music with composer Hummie Mann and attended The Seattle Film Institutes 40 week Total Immersion program.

    As a composer, in addition to scoring his own short picture 'Folie à Deux', he has composed music for several independent pictures, including Wisconsin born filmmaker Jack Bennett's short surrealist film 'Synthetik' (which received it's World Premiere at The Beloit International Film Festival in January of 2008, and won it's Director the Emerging Artist Grant) and Tim Boyd's film 'Uniforms' which starred members of the popular group Death Cab for Cutie.

    He has also provided music for two promotional films produced by The Northwest Film Forum, the regions first and only non-profit organization for the film arts. He has composed concert works in various genres, including solo instrumental works, vocal works, and chamber ensemble, and recently was commissioned to compose for an Art Exhibition of egg tempura painter Nathan DiPietro.

    He has just completed musical duties on a short film, again for director Jack Bennett, entitled 'The Neu Transients'. The picture runs 5 minutes and is a memorial to the City of old now over-run by condos and commercial construction, and uses the Seattle cityscape, the music, and the film's two lead actors (Benjamin Moody and Astrid Benet) to explore ideas of reflection, space, rhythm and transformation. The work premiered at the Northwest Film Forum as part of their City Symphony program on November 19th 2007.

    Devin has been awarded the Gold Medal for Excellence at the 2008 Park City Film Music Festival in the category Best Original Music for a Short Film.

    He hopes to continue being involved in film and music until his death.

    Surfing on the lavas of hell. Indeed. I reuploaded a slight revision of the mix. I'll probably do so again a few times. The drums need work.

    Anyway, how's it going? What's new?

    really like the latest song you posted. although I find it neither lugubrious nor atrabilious. also, there's a couple parts where it sounds like someone's doing dishes in the background (that's kind of lugubrious).

    Apr 26 2008 5:02 AM

    I would love for you to mess with it.

    do you want me to send it as an mp3 with the toms taken out or as it is or as an ACID file?
