News: Regarding my HUCKLEBERRY FINN film score and pan-temporal songwriting

Fri, 08 Oct 2010 00:00:00 -0800

I borrow liberally from many eras without an attempt at “authenticity.” It is NOT period music, despite melodies, text, and more often being historical in nature. The music is syncretistic and never devolves into anachronism.

The instrumentation for the HUCK FINN score will include violin, guitar, harmonica, lap steel, and acoustic bass. Some of the music will use harmony that post-dates the 19th century, at least the harmonies of the folk music of the era. Some of the music I wrote specifically for the film. I will also quote freely from Red-Haired Boy , Dvorak’s New World Symphony, and elsewhere, and hope to avoid kitsch. There will be some “noise” elements as well, sending things a bit out the window for brief periods.

"There are a few reasons why so many seasoned jazz veterans might latch on to Opek. For one thing, the freeness that Sun Ra's music and philosophy brings to Opek offers a chance to stretch that most gigs could never touch. Fleming, for example, takes time out from his solo project and gig as guitarist for orchestral rock group Boxstep for Opek because, among other things, it gives him a chance to freak out." - Pittsburgh City Paper

"an enigmatic gem that could pass for an outtake from Dylan's 'New Morning'...what you're bound to notice first is just how great the music feels, like "Basement Tapes" or "Beggars Banquet" only way more Fleming-esque, arriving at a gritty yet sophisticated blend of classic chamber pop and rustic folk...And when the lyrics set in, that may be right around the time it goes from feeling like a timeless record to becoming one." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"Fleming and his band have the chops to stand out in a New Weird America scene that includes Vetiver or Ben Chasny. For as long as 'Blockhouse' lasts -- under 24 minutes -- I can think of no better soundtrack to enjoy as our infrastructure collapses, dirty nukes explode in the cities, and the remnants of suburbia retreat to the woods to subsist in log cabins like the Unabomber." - Pittsburgh City Paper
