An eleven minute video loop by French filmmaker and
photographer Gerald
Petit. A guitarist named Jaymes and I battle out a
two-guitar version of Funkadelic's Maggot
Brain, first on the roof of my building and then in

Why Only We
Lisa Carlbom's short documentary
explores the ways that the post 9/11 anti-immigrant backlash
has affected New York City's Pakistani immigrant community.
An estimated 20,000 people have disappeared from the city
in the past three years. Immediately after the terror attacks,
the FBI and the Department Of Homeland Security started
performing sweeps in different Pakistani areas in New York
City, arresting South Asian men on sometimes spurious charges.
I composed the original score for this 62
minute film directed by Rene Veilleux. The film premiered
in the 2002 New York International Independent Film and
Video Festival.
