Mac Sinise - Arctic Circles

McCanna “Mac” Sinise
“Arctic Circles”
Director: Matthew J Blake

"Hi Friends,
I wanted to share a once-in-a-lifetime experience with all of you. About 10 years ago I was in a composition class at USC music school. I wrote a small piano piece that I never fully finished. I had dreams of expanding the piece into a piano concerto with a full orchestra but of course, those dreams were too extravagant for reality. I eventually moved away from a music career, started settling into my work at the Gary Sinise Foundation, and then got slammed with battling Chordoma, a very rare type of cancer that eventually metastasized. The music I wrote got tucked away in the “save” category on my computer. Now, 10 years later, I found a way to write music again in my hospital bed. In addition to getting back in touch with a producer friend from college, Oliver Schnee, I recovered my old piece and I decided to go for it! Time is precious and I want to take advantage of the times that I feel strong. The result has been incredible collaborations with members of the Lt Dan Band and my buddy Oliver Schnee to finally finish writing and recording 'Arctic Circles'. Please enjoy!"
