I've just watched a really interesting documentary about the Alpha Course, which basically is a course run by churches designed to make people about Christians. There's something gently sinister about it - it's very much based on emotional manipulation, and it teaches a very simplistic and rigid version of Christianity.
Anyway, through the programme I thought the incidental music seemed oddly familiar - then I noticed in the credits 'Composer - Jeffrey Lewis'. I'm not quite sure what piece of music it was though.
You can watch it online at http://www.channel4.com/programmes/revelations/4od#2926795
The film was made by Jon Ronson, who is a writer I really like - he wrote a great called 'The Men Who Stare at Goats' which is about bizarre American military experiments (including attempting to kill goats through the power of the mind). _________________ http://www.myspace.com/arhythmicnick |

This is another Jeffrey Lewis, not our guy. It's a common name. |

I did, in fact, do music for that Alpha Course documentary! Instrumental music is not usually my thing, but I think it came out good. Jon Ronson who made the film has done a number of NPR radio documentaries that I've quite enjoyed. I met him at the recent Latitude Festival, where he gave a great and funny talk about some other films he's working on.
Other projects currently happening - I finished those comic strips for the Cribs, 6 pages of stuff total, probably making rounds on internet somewhere.
Just did a comic for Time Out Tel-Aviv that will supposedly be getting translated into Hebrew!
Did a poster for the US tour dates I'm doing in September with Akron/Family.
Working on a "low-budget film" about the Mayflower, which I'm hoping will be used by the History Channel's website... more info to come.
Hope you're all doing well!
Off the the UK in a couple days (in Maine at the moment).

Glad to hear you're keeping busy Jeffrey. Do Christians kill mosquitoes? Are mosquitoes Christians? There is a right wing evangelist I saw on YouTube whose name is Jeffrey Lewis, so I thought that's who it was. |
