Dragonfly Lingo- Circles
This is what happens when a film/music producer hits a dry spell and remembers an idea he once had to marry his passion for music with that of cinema. Dragonfly Lingo‘s album, Offscreen, creates a film-music interaction that is very deep, dark, dynamic and catchy.
Circles, inspired by Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘The Conversation’, was nominated for Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA 2009) in the Production/Producer category.

Chiwawa- Don’t Wanna Talk
Some call Chiwawa post-modern, post-punk, electro-acoustic hybrid, others call it simply rock or pop. The musicians’ wide musical background delivers a rich and seductive sound with infectious grooves.
Chiwawa’s core is Laurie, the daughter of Hungarian immigrants, and Krassy, born and raised in communist Bulgaria. Within three months of their meeting, Krassy was being deported and Laurie had no choice but to save the band. What started out as a “greencard marriage” blossomed from desperate measures into true love and the couple settled into the Bohemian culture of Montreal, Canada.
