bio : | Tony Green has been playing guitar for over 15 years, in a variety of styles: classical, rock, jazz/fusion and folk/country among others. A Scotsman, he now calls Chicago home and performs locally. As a composer, he has been working on a variety of acoustic & electronic solo and group projects with fellow musicians & artists. I generally perform solo eclectic strangeness electro-acoustic guitar in the style of Leo Kottke, Bill Frisell, John Fahey, Marc Ribot and Nels Cline. If Miles Davis played guitar and was doing the soundtrack to a Wes Anderson movie, this is what it would sound like. Expanded Bio (or. "Why the hell does he bother?")

"Music for Imaginary Films" : I'm working on some film music right now and as soon as I have something to share, I'll post it. In the meantime, if you haven't already checked out the compositions below, take a listen. The compositions are mainly guitar-centric, unsurprisingly. This allows a rich variety of textures from pristine acoustic and processed electric guitars. 1: 'Uncle Gerhardt' - Steven Soderburgh directs film on life/work of artist Gerhardt Richter.
2. 'Largo': Paul Thomas Anderson adapts a series of Michael Chabon short stories (and first choice Jon Brion was unavailable to write the score)
3. 'Chinaski': Quentin Tarantino does Charles Bukowski.
4. 'Some Rhodes': Clint Eastwood remakes 'Dirty Harry', reprising elements of the original Lalo Schifrin score.
5. 'Amber': Ridley Scott directs a beer/financial services/car commercial
6. 'Strung': David Mamets adapts and directs Jim Thompson's 'Killer inside'
7. 'Holden': The Coen Brothers adapt and direct Cormac McCarthy's 'Blood Meridian.'
8. 'Ceci n'est pas un disco': Wim Wenders remakes Run Lola Run:
9. 'Shearsmen': Wes Anderson writes and directs film based on Wallace Steven's poem 'Man With Blue Guitar'
10. 'Calder': Jason Reitman directs film about man obsessed with the sculptor/engineer Alexander Calder.
