Michael Monroe // Chased By The Light // MisTree10016

Chased By The Light

PBS Documentary

Michael Monroe's first instrumental recording, Chased By The Light was created at his solar powered MisTree studio on the North Shore of Lake Superior, as a soundtrack for the documentary, CHASED BY THE LIGHT -A 90 Day Photographic Journey which premiered during the March 2003 pledge fund drive for TPT/PBS. The story reveals how Jim Brandenburg took only one photograph a day as part of a personal project and ended up with a best selling book and all 90 photos featured in National Geographic. It was filmed on location in and around Ravenwood Studios, Jim's studio/home in Ely on the edge of the BWCAW. Each of the 90 photographs inspired Michael to compose the music which reflects the many moods of this project. His CD recording expands the various musical themes he created for the film. The music CD, DVD & VHS documentary are now available at Michael's performances and may be ordered from this web site. The DVD also has a special section featuring several songs from the Guthrie performance, IN CONCERT WITH NATURE, as Jim and Michael shared the stage in February 2003. Another special section features the photos from Jim's new book, currently featured in the June 2003 issue of National Geographic Magazine, Looking For The Summer, which will be released this fall. The music and the documentary have already received 6 national (2 for the original music) Awards of Excellence from Video Awards (videoawards.com), as well as the Telly Awards (telly.com). The documentary was produced by Aurora/Cascade Pictures.
