COMPOSER
T. (Todd) Griffin is a songwriter, and sonic adventurer living in Brooklyn, New York. His two records on the Shiny Little record label, Light in the Aisles (2001) and Tortuga (1999) combine hushed country and spaghetti-western inflected narratives with an intimate junk-store electronic atmosphere that he dubs "porch-techno". Both albums received wide critical acclaim and college radio play. In addition to his solo recordings, Griffin has created music for film and theater, including soundtrack work for Jem Cohen (tracks for Amber City and the Chain installation) and Pete Sillen (the short documentary Alice and her Little Yellow House). In 2000 he collaborated with Cohen on an evening of live music and super-8 projection called 8-ball, Corner Pocket. He has been commissioned twice by HERE theater to create full-length scores for darkly imagistic dance pieces, and by Ann Bogart’s SITI Company to write songs for their internationally touring production Bobrauchenbergamerica. In the summer of 2002, he recorded a song with Vic Chesnutt to be included on the DVD of Jem Cohen and Pete Sillen’s acclaimed documentary, Benjamin Smoke.Mixed Greens produces documentary films and sells original, contemporary artwork.
