The Trip There
"Glimpse" from The Trip There
We are pleased to announce a unique release on this fine Spring Monday. Several years ago a great friend of ours, Chris Mignanelli, approached Brendan about writing a soundtrack for a film he was making. Brendan happily obliged and began compiling songs and bits of music that had been swirling about in his head for the project. We then spent an afternoon in my studio recording those ideas and sent them over to see how the director felt about them. Next thing we knew we were watching a captivating love story set to these tunes. And now we are excited to be able to share both that soundtrack and film with you for the first time.
The Trip There is now available here via live downloads in a variety of formats. You can buy the movie, the soundtrack (in flac or mp3) or a bundle with both. The soundtrack contains 9 original Bayliss tracks including and 2 additional songs written and performed by Matt Curreri. You may recognize a couple of these songs as they have been given a new life with the help of Jeff Austin and 30db. Hear these tracks and 7 new ones in their infancy, stripped down to the core for this debut soundtrack release.
Susanah from The Trip There
Bob Lud's life was forever changed during the summer of
2002. He moved to a new city. He began a new career. He fell
in love with Emily, the woman of his dreams. And, in truly unlikely
fashion, she fell in love right back. Their story, told through the
interweaved record of three cross-country road trips, is attributed to the work
of "the Spirit." The
Trip There attempts to witness this work through the eyes of Bob and
Emily, the words of those who know and love them, and through the deeper
narratives suggested by the journeys themselves.
Traversing the themes of love, travel, music, metaphysics, and more, the film
illuminates the nature of human vulnerability and the capacity for
transformation we all carry within us. Without discounting the necessity
of the destination, we are reminded that it is on the trip there that purpose is found. The Trip There brings us the tale
of three journeys: one to find love, a second to call a storyteller, and a
third to tell the story.
