This is the Coen Brothers' film about a Jewish
physics professor living in Minnesota in the late 1960s. The deterioration
of his personal and professional lives leads to a spiritual crisis
involving rabbis, F Troop, and The Jefferson Airplane. We're recording the score in mid-May.
This is Spike Jonze's interpretation of, and expansion on Maurice Sendak's book, with a script by Spike and Dave Eggers. Karen O has already written songs and other pieces of music for the film. I recorded the score in early April (and continue to tweak it) and the film is scheduled for release in October 2009.
