"His music is well written with tasteful orchestration. He is a strong composer with productions that are diverse and engaging. If I was a director looking for someone to score my next film, he would definitely get a call. Great stuff.”

“ herein lie exceptional scores for multiple types of movies and television. Also perfect for caviar parties."
Carolyn Cumming - Television Producer ”

ROCKTRONICA - Merging the worlds of Rock and Electronica has always been a natural progression for me. This track celebrates the fusion of the two genres.


FOREIGN EXCHANGE - This is a recent stab into the World Music foray. The client wanted authentic ethnic (i.e. stereo-typical hollywood concept of someplace they've never been) but modern sounding. That's pretty much my specialty.
MULHOLLAND DRIVE - This is a synthy kind of New Age track with a melodic twist giving an edge to the music that adds to the mystery of the scene. Was it the buried secrets from her past that haunted her or just too many onions on that hotdog?

JAMES BOND; LOST IN THE ANDES - The first choice for the theme of the new Bond movie currently in production. Unfortunately, the craft services supervisor who made the choice was over-ruled by some pesky studio executives.

RAZOR SHARP - This is a Rock track with a modern feel done with assorted drums loops cut up to sound like a dynamic human drummer. This track like most on this page is available for licensing, call me, I'll be flattered.

THE GAVEL - This cue was originally done as a theme for a TV pilot about some young hip lawyers. The last we heard they were still litigating.
ANDROMEDA - This is a movie theme designed for use with a trailer for a science fiction space adventure. This track can also be heard as the music for the Star Wars mock-up on my above video reel. l
FALL OF THE NEPHILIM - Done entirely with the Vienna Symphonic Library, this is a score for a an event briefly touched upon in the Bible, about the fallen angels that came down to mate with the sons of men, producing an offspring of giants and super-human demonic beings. They were last seen running from a boy with a slingshot.
XM RADIO PROMO - This cue was done as a sound design demo for the satellite radio network. It contains a mix of elements all done at Pearl Music Studios, including a voiceover done by Boris Karloff not long after his death.
   

ANGEL'S FLIGHT - Much of the music that I write crosses genres. This piece started out as World Music and wound up closer to Smooth Jazz. Yes, that is an AutoHarp you hear, the same one Bonita brought to our very first song-writing encounter XX years ago.

GAME OVER - This cue was done with the game market in mind and gave me a good opportunity to crank up the Marshall JCM-900.

SAINTS AND SINNERS - A cue originally written for an Arts and Fashion website. Two clients caught in a bidding war drove each other into bankruptcy in an attempt to secure exclusive rights to this music. Their loss, your gain, license it today.

LATE FOR WORK AGAIN - This piece was inspired by someone I know who shall remain nameless. You know who you are.

EXPECTATIONS - This piece was once considered as an album cut, but didn't have a feel consistent with the rest of the project. It still might make a great promo track for some free-wheelin' hype-jockey.

ROOTS ROCK INTRO - Here's a short TV theme were I got to break out my old country licks. I did grow up within walking distance of real cows.
