Musings and predictions

Apparently I'm either lazy or quite busy, as the website seems to get updated less frequently. I like to think it's the latter... Either way, "City Under the Sea" was successfully wrapped up several months ago and is now officially part of the National Geographic family. My thanks go out to Anita and Guy, who are always a joy to work with, even during crunch time!
You can find a trailer for the doc at their homepage: www.liquidmotionfilm.com
Since finishing the documentary, I've been working toward several very different releases for separate music libraries; styles include "family adventure" with a mysterious and epic feel, as in this intro from one of the titles: The Witch and the Butterfly_Excerpt
Other music is far more Jazz-oriented and typical of "Heist" films, with loads of influences from the '60s - very cool to play with, providing much opportunity for experimentation. Here the final section of one of the tracks on the album (mockup only): 7-Getaway Excerpt
Other music still, is geared towards usage in sports.
On the more artistic side, I have also been wrestling with research and thoughts for the new documentary on which I've started to work. The subject matter is WWII, the Frank family and the way that message is being delivered to the newest generation of the world. It has been very intense so far and I expect it to continue being intense. I'm planning a rather large recording session on this one in order to capture the right mood, but I am yet to nail down the exact ensemble. The coming weeks will provide clarity as the score begins to take shape, morphing from abstract ideas into concrete notes.
Finally, I think it is a time during which many Europeans, either at home or, like me, abroad, look at their homeland with trepidation in light of the events of this past week. We continue to hope for the best. In the meantime:
Je suis Charlie.

Kickstarter Campaign for Legendary AD

The Kickstarter campaign for my friend Leonardo Corbucci's newest film, Legendary AD, is officially underway. In the film, Leo interviews and chats with a number of iconic Assistant Directors, who collectively have worked on some of the most famous films in the history of cinema. There are some great stories here...

Legendary AD

I am pleased to be helping my friend, Leonardo Corbucci, in his quest to finish production of his newest documentary, LEGENDARY AD. For those who are not familiar with the term, the Assistant Director is responsible for general order on a film set, his/her duties including call sheets for the actors, overseeing cast and crew, logistics and general well-being. As you can imagine, a person in this situation has a lot of stories to tell. In his documentary, Leonardo interviews some of the most successful ADs in film history: Star Wars, The Godfather, Superman, Batman, etc.
Specific plans for the film will be announced in 9 days and we have prepared a trailer to showcase some of the stories you can expect to hear (you can hear some of my original music along with arrangements of existing famous soundtracks).
Great stories await.
