Jimmy LaValle (aka The Album Leaf) didn't expect to ever become a film composer, but the type of music he was writing pushed him into the realm of screen music. We talk all about Jimmy's unconventional path to becoming a composer, how The Album Leaf concept started, growing up in the 90's music scene of San Diego, his old days of touring with bands like Sigur Rós, his process for composing scores, and we dive into his approach to scoring Something In The Dirt. We also discuss his continued collaboration with directors Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson. Jimmy's unique sound palette and voice as a musical storyteller has gained him an incredible following of fans, and his wonderful insight into his process is nothing short of inspiring.

For the next few weeks, we'll be highlighting some of the scores and composers we really liked out of the 2022 Sundance International Film Festival.   First up is Something in the Dirt, the latest from Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, who've made a cottage industry out of scintillating low-budget sci-fi and supernatural horror. Along with the ride for most of their endeavors has been longtime composer and friend Jimmy LaValle, for whom this is his fourth collaboration with the pair.   Something in the Dirt follows John and Levi (played by Benson and Moorhead), two strangers who meet after one moves into the other's Laurel Canyon apartment complex. They're both loners, drifters, folks with mysterious pasts who have their own unique relationship to the city of Los Angeles. But they're thrown together by circumstance one day when the two start witnessing some supernatural occurrences in Levi's apartment; thrown together by opportunity and boredom, they start documenting their findings. What follows tosses them down a conspiratorial rabbit hole that includes wormholes, alternate dimensions, and gravitic anomalies, while the lines between narrative and documentary become increasingly blurred.   In keeping with his house style for the pair, LaValle (an LA-based musician who also performs with his band The Album Leaf) keeps to isolated, eerie synths and unsettling pulses to convey the unsettling nature of what John and Levi are discovering. But he also expands his palate with woodwinds and organs to convey the clashing nature of John and Levi's polarizing personalities. Plus, the COVID-era circumstances led to an especially innovative process for the DIY filmmakers, which LaVelle was along for the entire ride.   On this week's podcast, Jimmy talks to us about his long-time collaboration with Benson and Moorhead, how COVID aided and abetted this particular project, and the ways he flexed his own musical muscles for Something in the Dirt.   Plus, LaValle offers commentaries for three tracks from the score: "Math Teacher," "The Symbol," and "No Light Source."   You can find Jimmy LaValle and The Album Leaf at their official website here.

While in Europe, Broderick met and worked with a wide variety of composers, singers, and songwriters including Nils Frahm, Greg Haines, Laura Gibson, Yann Tiersen, Olafur Arnalds, and Lubomyr Melnyk.Broderick was by this time an in-demand session player, engineer, and producer, but kept up a steady stream of his own work on EPs, singles, and film scores, and he accepted composition commissions for dance and the theater. Broderick provided half of many split recordings, including 2009's Blank Grey Canvas Sky with Machinefabriek, 2010's Apple Bobbing At ___ with Penelope Joy, and 2011's Glimmer with Takumi Uesaka. In 2010, Bella Union released his full-length How They Are. From 2010, Broderick's level of activity was matched only by the number of requests for his time from other artists. He contributed to 19 recordings in 2010, 12 in 2011 (including Oliveray's Wonders, one of his projects with Frahm), and ten more in 2012. He and Frahm also completed and released the first album of a three-year undertaking entitled http://www.itstartshear.com. (Interestingly, the artist withdrew from having any kind of social media account.) Broderick also issued the EP Two Songs for Banjo and Voice and the single "I Will Play This Song Once Again" b/w "These Walls of Mine" that year.Broderick was equally prolific in 2013. Among the ten recordings he contributed to were Mark Kozelek and Jimmy Lavalle's Perils from the Sea, Melnyk's Corollaries, and Nadja's Flipper. He also issued the Broderick & Broderick EP and the full-length Float: 2013 Addendum, and he scored director Rodney Evans' award-winning film The Happy Sad. The following year saw the artist move back to Portland for a time and play on recordings by Portland Cello Project, Aidan Baker, Sharon Van Etten, and Sean Flinn & the Royal We. Erased Tapes issued the Broderick and Haines split dub offering Greg Gives Peter Space, The Album Leaf (Featuring Peter Broderick) was self-released, and the eponymous Peter Broderick + Gabriel Saloman was issued by Beacon Sound.While Broderick played on over a dozen records by other artists in 2015, his own recording and touring activities were equally intense. He collaborated with French artist Félicia Atkinson as La Nuit to release Desert Television and issued the EPs X Luzern and COTN RMXD and the acclaimed full-length Colours of the Night. In 2016, Broderick cut the stripped-down piano-and-voice album Partners with Tucker Martine. (Inspired by John Cage's writings, it featured a reading of the composer's "In a Landscape.") He also produced Brigid Mae Power's acclaimed self-titled Tompkins Square debut album. The pair were married shortly thereafter and moved to Ireland. Broderick continued his productive work rate into 2017 with the release of All Together Again, which collected his commissioned works from the previous decade.https://www.peterbroderick.net/  New Music from East Forest! -"Possible" - the latest album  from East Forest - LISTEN ON YOUR FAVORITE STREAMING PLATFORM: Spotify / ApplePre-order the album on vinyl - limited edition - and check out the new Possible clothing: http://eastforest.org *** Support this free podcast by joining the East Forest COUNCIL on Patreon.  Monthly Zoom Council, Podcast exclusives, private Patreon live-stream ceremony, and more.  Check it out and a great way to support the podcast and directly support the work of East Forest! - http://patreon.com/eastforest *****Please rate Ten Laws w/East Forest on iTunes.  It helps us get the guests you want to hear.  ***Catch East Forest LIVE - Pledge your interest in the upcoming East Forest Ceremony Concert events this Spring/Summer 2021.  More info and join us at eastforest.org/tour Join the newsletter and be part of the East Forest Community. Listen to East Forest guided meditations on Spotify & Apple Check out the East Forest x Ram Dass album on (Spotify & Apple) + East Forest's Music For Mushrooms: A Soundtrack For The Psychedelic Practitioner 5hr album (Spotify & Apple). Stay in the East Forest flow:Mothership:  http://eastforest.org/IG:  https://www.instagram.com/eastforest/FB:  https://www.facebook.com/EastForestMusic/TW:  https://twitter.com/eastforestmusicPATREON: http://patreon.com/eastforest

Jimmy LaValle, best known for his ambient and visually innovative synth-driven music as The Album Leaf, takes a step back from his ever-evolving tree of ethereal patchwork to talk about life as a composer, collaborator and artist. Remaining prolific as ever, LaValle shares his experiences writing music remotely, keeping a pulse on exciting reissues and embarking on a unique exploration with a Nigerian dance duo of siblings. Get nice and cozy, but forget complacency—once again, it’s time to turn over a new leaf…

Interview No. 45 with Jimmy LaValle of The Locust, Tristeza, and The Album Leaf!

Music carries us away to the enchanted plains of Gondor, makes our heart race with shrieking violins in showers, fills us with wonder as we see a brachiosaurus on it's hind legs eating from a tree, and makes us cry as the little flag on the mailbox goes up and down signaling a letter from three years earlier (or later) has arrived. Film has always been a medium which leans heavily on the composer's ability to push the audience's emotions in the direction the film wants them to go. Take a note from our page and join Jonny, Neil, and Gary as we dive in to the magic of movie scores and how composers perform their work. We also discuss who the best composer in film is [SPOILER ALERT: It's John Williams]. Joining us this week are our special guests Paul Beahan and Jimmy Lavalle, who have scored numerous films and television shows.

We also dive into The Album Leaf project, how he met Sigur Rós, the Sub Pop Records days, and how he’s now busy with film scoring. It all makes sense and how each one happened all started with putting yourself out there and being involved. Jimmy’s story is one of constant creativity and making connections.

Joe met this week's guest--Jimmy LaValle--on tour over twenty years ago. A lot has happened in the intervening time, and Jimmy catches Joe up on: the genesis and evolution of The Album Leaf; becoming a film composer; and raising a family. This conversation was a reminder of the magic that is felt on early tours and how that feeling is still within reach if we can learn from experience but also maintain some semblance of childlike wonder. In any case, it's always fun to see old friends.

Jimmy LaValle of The Album Leaf takes apart The Outer Banks, a song he recorded in Iceland with members of Sigur Ros accompanying him. He reveals how the melody of the song was made from a glockenspiel, violin, and Moog synthesizer; and he talks about the importance of letting go of control during the recording process.
