About the composer: Aled Roberts has created a wide variety of work for independent filmmakers, student films and commercial spots. A multi-instrumentalist and "multi-genre-ist," Aled is musically flexible and strongly wields his profound sense of tone, melody and harmony in any music he composes. In 2011, Aled's compositions were featured at The Flea Theatre’s Music With A View Festival, where he was celebrated as “a precocious young composer" by TimeOut New York. Aled was chosen to receive the NYU Steinhardt Certificate of Outstanding Musicianship in the Composition Program by Dr. Robert Rowe and Julia Wolfe and, in May 2013, he graduated with a Bachelor of Music cum laude. He has developed a close relationship with filmmaker Patrick Biesemans and created the music for the director’s first self-released short Charles Bukowski’s Nirvana, which launched into Vimeo’s Staff Pick List with over 50k views in the first month. About the music: This score was written and recorded in Aled's apartment studio, using his own instruments and performances, with the additional help of cellist Maria Hadge. "Inhabit: A Permaculture Perspective" shows individuals across the country who are implementing the permaculture method into their land, communities, and ways of life. Each track on the soundtrack represents something from their stories. About the film: Inhabit is a feature length documentary introducing permaculture: a design method that offers an ecological lens for solving issues related to agriculture, economics, governance, and on. The film presents a vast array of projects, concepts, and people, and it translates the diversity of permaculture into something that can be understood by an equally diverse audience. For those familiar, it will be a call to action and a glimpse into what's possible - what kind of projects and solutions are already underway. For those unfamiliar, it will be an introduction to a new way of being and a new way of relating to the Earth. For everyone, it will be a reminder that humans are capable of being planetary healing forces.
