Breathing Room
takes top prize
2006
Chicago Indiefest!
The Vision Award epitomizes our slogan
"Vision Without Compromise".
"Breathing Room was the film that our judges felt
didn't compromise or commercialize itself in any way.
It's a great film ..."

"Being a film and stage producer and not by craft a composer, leaves one
wanting for just the talent that Peter Girard brings to the task of scoring.
He hears the heart in the description of what a scene requires
and knows how to coax this expression from his medium...music.
We've worked on stage and film projects. Working with Peter is fluid
and at last magical, which is what all artists wait on."
Jerry Meadors
Screenwriter
Producer, Film and Theater 		"When scoring a film, Peter listens to
what I ask for, what the story seems to need,
and to the spaces between all that. As a result,
the film comes alive in an extraordinary way.
It breathes with a musical voice
that supports every nuance."

LA WEEKLY THEATER CRITCS
nominate Peter Girard for
BEST ORIGINAL MUSIC,1997

"An excellent update of Euripides The Bacchae,
directed by Bradford Mays,
offers a wealth of theatrical virtues
not often seen on stages around Los Angeles.
Skillfully incorporating ensemble movement and music ...”
-LA Reader
"Daring! An enthusiastic spectacle
embellished with the appropriately eerie mysticism
of Peter Girard’s original score..Enya meets Roger Coreman."
-Philip Brandes, LA Times
Code One is Peter Girard and Cindy Lubar Bishop. Their debut CD fourteen parts is available at CDBaby.com.
The soundscapes that comprise the 14 compositions herein could be soundtracks
for nightmares or dreams. Fourteen Parts is first and foremost a product of the studio,
using electronics, vocals, sampling, and clever production techniques.
Little here bears much resemblence to western, eastern, or any other music for that matter.
This is visionary sonic art. There are no hard edges or abrasive elements here,
its just very unusual. Recommended for intrepid sonic explorers. File under “out-there”.
Peter Thelen, Music Critic
CODE ONE Fourteen Parts is an album that falls apart from all categories
and that is deemed - because of this - to be an unknown little treasure.
Not that the music is radically new and beyond all description.
Far from it. But it is not idiomatic or easy to categorize.
