No one knows better than the Atlantic Film Festival that a film without music is like popcorn without butter. Which is why every year, as part of the Inspired Music Program, they produce a compilation CD in conjunction with the East Coast Music Association that highlights the best in east coast music.
From Nathan Wiley, to Joel Plaskett Emergency, to Spesh K to the Rhapsody Quintet there is something for everyone’s taste on the Atlantic Film Festival Music & Image Take 3 CD.
The CD is distributed to delegates attending the Atlantic Film Festival and Strategic Partners. It will also be distributed at other music and film industry events.
In addition to inclusion on the CD some tracks like Dreamer by Jenn Grant, I Know by Meaghan Smith and U Dream by MIR were used by the Association on the Festival’s film montage video and on the Sponsor roll calls.
Artists included on the CD are: Nathan Wiley, Rose Cousins, MIR, Joel Plaskett Emergency, David Myles, Sproll, Jenn Grant, Two Hours Traffic, Museum Pieces, Hey Rosetta!, Bruce Guthro, Damhnait Doyle, Chris Colepaugh & the Cosmic Crew, Windom Earle, Spesh K featuring Jordon Croucher & DL Incognito, Mark Bragg, Meaghan Smith, Dave Gunning, Jon Mullane, October Game and Rhapsody Quintet.
