BUYSOUNDTRAX Records will be releasing BROTHERS AT WAR, featuring music composed and conducted by Lee Holdridge for the 2009 documentary directed by Jake Rademacher and produced by Norman S. Powell, Jake Rademacher, Gary Sinise, David Scantling and Kristi Wuttig.

BROTHERS AT WAR is an intimate portrait of an American family during a turbulent time in our nation's history. Jake Rademacher sets out to understand the experience, sacrifice and motivation of his two brothers serving in Iraq. Often humorous but sometimes downright lethal, BROTHERS AT WAR is a remarkable journey where Jake embeds with combat units in Iraq, allowing him unprecedented access to U.S. and Iraqi combat units along the Syrian border, into the Sunni Triangle and through raging gun battles with the Iraqi Army as Jake risks everything, including his own life, to tell his brothers' story. Ultimately, the film provides a rare look at the bonds and service of our soldiers on the frontlines and the profound effects their service has on the loved ones they leave behind.

For BROTHERS AT WAR, the producers were looking for a composer who could provide music that would compliment this exciting and terrifying journey to the edges of a modern battlefield but could also switch gears and navigate through the terrain of intimate family relationships. They chose Lee Holdridge, a composer with a history of delicately highlighting the emotional moments of his subjects in a subtle manner. For the film, the composer has written a intimate acoustic score, augmented by strings, guitar and piano, including a song written and performed by John Ondrasik, based on the main theme.

Lee Holdridge was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti in 1944. He spent his early years in Costa Rica, beginning music studies on the violin at the age of ten with Hugo Mariani, then the conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra of Costa Rica. Later, Holdridge moved to New York to continue his music studies and begin his professional career as a composer. Holdridge's successes in New York came to the attention of Neil Diamond who brought Holdridge to Los Angeles to write arrangements for his forthcoming albums. A string of Gold and Platinum hits followed, which led to Diamond and Holdridge collaborating on the film score for Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Since that time, Holdridge has scored numerous film such as Splash, Big Business, Mr. Mom, Micki & Maude, 16 Days Of Glory, The Beastmaster, Sylvester, A Tigers' Tale, El Pueblo Del Sol, Old Gringo and Pastime. His television work includes Moonlighting, Beauty and the Beast, the complete eight hour remake of East of Eden, The Tenth Man, Dreamer of Oz, Hallmark Hall Of Fame's One Against the Wind and The Story Lady. Lee also began a very successful collaboration with Moriah Films, the film division of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, with the Academy Award winning documentary feature film The Long Way Home. In addition to his film career, Mr. Holdridge has had an extensive repertoire of concert works performed and recorded. He has also worked with many major recording artists having written, arranged and conducted for Placido Domingo, Barbra Streisand, Brian May of Queen, Stevie Wonder, Neil Diamond, John Denver, Neil Sedaka, Daniel Rodriguez, Al Jarreau, Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross, Natalie Cole, Jane Oliver and many others.

BUYSOUNDTRAX Records presents BROTHERS AT WAR.

This is a limited edition release of 1500 units. The first 100 copies will be autographed by composer Lee Holdridge.

Den Holdridge habe ich letzte Woche überraschenderweise beim stöbern auf SAE gefunden und gleich auf die Wish List befördert. Im nächsten Paket wird er sicherlich dabei sein.
