Netflix Premiere of AI Love You Set For February 15th

January 26, 2022

One of the bigger sound design projects I worked on in 2021, Netflix has set the premiere date for the highly anticipated sci-fi rom-com “AI Love You” for February 15th. A modern love story set in the near future where an AI building is powered by human feelings. Due to a software glitch, it falls in love with a real girl, escapes the building into the body of a real man, and tries to win her affections. Happy to see this quirky film out into homes worldwide on one of media’s biggest platforms! Watch the trailer here.

Getting Ready For the Beijing Olympics on NBC 2022

January 25, 2022

It seems like Tokyo just ended, and maybe that’s because it did. But we’re back at it only a few months later, this time for the Winter Olympics in Beijing. My first time working on the Olympics broadcast for NBC was in 2008 for the summer games in Beijing. Back then, most of the team was on-site in China, while some of us worked out of 30 Rock in New York. This time, like Tokyo, we’re living in a different world, and most of us are remote. But what would’ve proven to be very difficult in 2008 was pulled off with ease in 2021, and will be again in 2022. Looking forward to another Winter Games, and helping producers tell the stories of the athletes through music.

New Album “Wheel. Water. Power.” Out Now On All Streaming Platforms

January 19, 2022

The music written for Gosha Levochkin’s solo show at NYC’s The Hole is now streaming everywhere! I’ve written an hour’s worth of music for the installation accompanying the new series of work from Gosha Levochkin on display at The Hole NYC through Feb. 25th, 2022.

“The paintings are replete with mine carts that roll, nails, thorns and studs that fly, pipes and drains, levers and pulleys. Somewhere in each one are indeed some figures! Pared down to basic circles and shapes, these figures are linked as in a Rube Goldberg machine where each moving part triggers the next trap in a circuit of causality.”

So the music reflects this “mad scientist’s lab” atmosphere in its use of sound design where machinery and its interlocking parts, water, and electricity combine with washes of synths, bass, and percussion to create an immersive listening experience.

Jay Rothman Score Featured in Gosha Levochkin’s Solo Show @ The Hole Gallery in NYC

January 14, 2022

Saturday 01/15/22 is the opening of Gosha Levochkin‘s solo show “The Last Element” at The Hole in the East Village. It marks the first time his work will be shown with a multimedia installation. The installation features a wall of video screens with animations by Johnny Lee that recall the design aesthetics and geometry of early 2000’s video game consoles. The score features an hour of original music that is influenced by the imagery and themes from the paintings. This is the first release under my own name rather than my Jazz and Indian classical-influenced side project Rig Veda.
