I am used to singing in a very specific way for musical theater. But as soon as I heard this song, I knew that I would have to let loose a bit and really sing whatever I felt in the moment.Mostly, I just wanted my vocals to feel very raw, so I didn’t think too much about delivery. I just trusted that whatever came out of my mouth in that moment would be OK.

An immersive emotional experience.

You did it, Cory!

Footprint is not a “one size fits all” type of tune… Different folks will experience it in theirown subjective ways.

Recording a project like this is so important, because not only do you support music on a whole, but you’re supporting your child’s own development, and the way they perceive the world, and the way they perceive themselves.

What we’re doing here with Doctor Noize is incredibly important because the future of music depends on the kids.

The orchestra has a level of complexity and beauty and length that we don’t have in popular music. Giving kids the exposure so that they understand and enjoy and be inspired because of the project that we’re doing here… I think that’s critical.

Lonnie Park here to talk about what it was like working with Cory, specifically on Positive Energy. That was one of the first things I worked on with Cory, and every time you work with somebody new, you never know what you’re gonna get. And with Cory… I still never know what I’m gonna get, even though we’ve worked together quite a bit now!

Honoring a Mentor: Dr. John Chowning. At the heart of Footprint is a tribute to Dr. John Chowning, whose pioneering work in FM synthesis revolutionized modern music. Cullinan’s dedication to completing the piece in Chowning’s honor speaks to the enduring influence of mentorship and the power of artistic lineage.

What a sweet song! I mean, it’s laughably easy just to make up something that sounds like a song, but it’s really hard to make it good — to sound just right, like it’s yours, like it means something. With Something (for Janette) you nailed it. I applaud you.
