My friend Pasquale D'Silva is an illustrator and animator who lives in Brisbane, Australia. We was also instrumental in getting this very website off the ground.

There is something truly special about having friends in creative fields, because you can have conversations that might go something like this [DRAMATIZATION]:

Me: "Wow, Paz! Thanks for creating that awesome illustration you completed in just 6 minutes! That's amazing!"

Paz: "No problem - anytime. It's fun and I'm insanely good at it."

Me: "Hey, if there's any animation projects that you need music or sound design for, just let me know. I'd be happy to work on something like that."

Paz: "Sure thing. I'll take you up on that sometime soon."

That time has come, so I'm going to see if I can put together a score for a cartoon that Pasquale has been working on. I think I'll try to do my best Carl Stalling impression, taking into account that he was a genius and I'm a bass player.

Fun, eh? It's bartering, but at the end you've participated in making something awesome, instead of the usual type of bartering where you get an old goat or something from medieval times.

Here's the video as it is now, with the original music and sound effects. We'll see how it plays when I'm done with it. It's a grand experiment, but I'm happy to have a go at it, and I'll try an post newer versions if time (and Paz) allows.
