About Me |
|
| hey my name's michael and i am a native new yorker. i worked in the music business for 23 years as a record executive working in the A&R dept signing new artists to both elektra and geffen records. i signed metallica white zombie PiL nina simone to name a few. i finally got tired of all the BS and quit working at record companies in 2003. having said that I still A&R music projects independently. so here's the update:
just before her true colors tour I A&R'd cyndi lauper's cd "bring ya to the brink".
i also run a small label called "outsider music" with richard morel.
outsider is currently releasing the morel cd called "the death of the paper boy". it's one of the coolest cd's i've heard in a long time. it reminds me of bowie and the pet shop boys but richard has his own sad yet brilliant take on life, love and loss. it's a double cd. the second being a remix cd that's really haunting and beautiful. you may know richard remixes under the name "pink noise". Here is a clip from timothy's recent film "circus". TIMOTHY CORSCADDEN SCREEN TEST http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdF34Vi0hy0
and here is a screen test of timothy ;-) |
