Footprint isn’t just a piece of music; it’s a call to action. It reminds us that creativity thrives when nurtured, that mentorship shapes futures, and that art can provoke profound introspection.

My family just did whatever, and I was filming them, and we were laughing…

Finding ways to keep the family occupied without fighting — well, that can be a challenge. But I found a family that’s doing just that, and at the same time, they’re helping others. Meet the Cullinans. While doing their part to stay at home, dad Cory decided to make the best of it

This high-tech, improvised performance reflects the chaos of living in 2025. The eccentric, experimental instrumentation is deeply captivating and profound. A Stanford music graduate, Cullinan possesses a strong sophistication as a composer, and you can hear that refinement throughout this riveting work.

Allow yourself ten minutes, uninterrupted, to fully take in and absorb this multimedia piece from musician, composer, and teacher Cory Cullinan, featuring the directorial and editorial talents of Sidney Cullinan.This will make you happy to be alive.

Fast forward to the mid-2020s. Cory received word that Dr. Chowning, his Stanford Music Major Advisor and the creator of FM synthesis that powers the DX7 keyboard and more on almost every 80s and 90s pop recording, was coming — at age 89 — to a concert Cory was playing with Riley Max in San Jose, CA. Cory immediately thought: ‘I have to finish the piece I never finished in Chowning’s class.’ Assisted by Cory’s own former college Recording Arts student Elizabeth Anaya… Cory and Elizabeth worked at his Reach Studios to finish the piece before the show. It sounds remarkably similar to what he heard in his head in 1989. Footprint now exists in three formats: as an audio piece, as a live audience interaction piece, and as a multimedia piece that’s a collaboration with Cory’s daughter Sidney Cullinan.

The music video, directed and created by his daughter Sidney Cullinan, displays serene outdoor images that truly add to the tranquility. His musical creation paired with the compelling visuals craft a feeling of complete catharsis..

Cory’s daughter Sidney Cullinan was given free rein to write, edit and create a film to accompany the audio she was given for the multimedia version of Footprint.Sidney has directed music videos featuring Grammy winners and more, produced environmental documentaries as both composer and editor, and created campaigns and social media content securing the greatest engagement in the history of the world’s largest environmental non-profit (The Nature Conservancy).
