Morning Songs Of South Jersey

This project, “Morning Songs Of South Jersey” consists of compositions combined with natural “atmospheric” sounds recorded at daybreak from various locations in southern New Jersey (Salem, Cumberland, Gloucester and Burlington counties). This project is currently in various stages of video & audio recording, video editing and audio mixing. Completion projected in the fall of 2026.

This short film combines the early morning sights and sounds of the meadows at the Money Island Road, Alloway Creek Watershed Wetland Restoration Site in southern New Jersey. With video footage and audio recordings from the meadows, it invites viewers into the peaceful landscapes of the South Jersey coastal ecosystem.

The visuals accompany my original score which included musicians from Italy, Venezuela, North Macedonia, Argentina, and Brazil. The natural sounds, merging the calm of the wetlands with this musical backdrop, create a moment for reflection where a bird’s song aligns with a flute’s melody. With the various international musicians, we can view how our shared love of nature connects us across borders and oceans.

This film was the 2026 winner of the Salem County Spotlight Award in the Salem County 1st. Film Festival.
