Ramon had told me that he would compose the main theme music for the film. I gave him the ideas and purposes for my doing this project, and a couple of possible examples, and off he went. I fancy myself a bit of a composer, so I tried my hand at the task before he finished. While my music survives in an early version of the title sequence, I quickly noticed that his music was much better suited to what I wanted.
So
I was excited when he told me that I could go and shoot him record
the music. He took me to Roca Firme Estudios in East Harlem. The
space we had was very compact, but I felt my job was to merely stay
out of the way, while they worked. I did that as best I could.
The
only thing that I set up was the light box on its stand. Instead of
setting up both cameras, I merely held the camera in my hand, and
moved around the studio to get different shots at different times.
There wasn't much interviewing going on, but I did get a lot of good
footage that would serve very nicely as incidental shots. It was also
a fun experience to see him working. I hope that came across in the
final film.
