The film score for Magic Hourglass is complete! It was mixed by John Rodd and sounds fantastic. If you are a film composer you should try to work with him. Check out the first three samples on my Demos page to hear it.
Magic Hourglass session
The recording of the film score for Magic Hourglass was a success! I recorded the music over several days, and these wonderful players came in for the last day. Directing players is always a composer’s favorite part of the process, and director Robert Rollins was able to sit in with us too. The musicians in Los Angeles are the best.

Scoring The Magic Hourglass
My film scoring process has begun for Robert Rollins’ film The Magic Hourglass. Because we’re longtime collaborators and he likes to involve the composer very early on, this score is proving to be an easy nut to crack. I was involved in this film as early as the script writing and budgeting processes, so now that it’s time to write the music for the film it feels like an old friend and not a new project. Working with Robert is a rewarding and deep collaborative process.
On the set of Magic Hourglass
I was on set today with director Robert Rollins for our next project “The Magic Hourglass”, a fantasy/adventure film. I will start composing the film score in early 2011.
San Diego Children’s Film Festival
“Every Other Week” is a wonderful short children’s film by director Genevieve McCarty which I scored. The film just had a very successful screening at the San Diego International Kid’s Film Festival. We had a Q&A afterwards, and it was a unique chance for the kids to talk to a film composer. They were fascinated with the idea of composing music specifically to tell stories in film.
Bugbaby score complete
The film score for Bugbaby is done! It’s a wacky, crazy, Tim Burton style horror score starring the legendary actress Mink Stole. The film was directed by Rebecca Doppelt, and it’s a beautiful example of camp and kitsch. It’s going to the dub stage in San Francisco tomorrow for the final mix.

Imbrolio nel Lenzuolo released
Italian film L’imbroglio nel lenzuolo was released in theatres today. It was directed by Alfonso Arau, stars the iconic beauty Maria Grazia Cucinotta, and has a film score composed by Ruy Folguera. I was the orchestrator and music copyist for Ruy, and we recorded the orchestra at Gustavo Borner’s 19-time Grammy-winning studio Igloo Music.
Working with Stewart Copeland
I have begun working with Stewart Copeland, working towards a concert with the Dallas Symphony in February of next year. I am assisting him with the music preparation for his symphonic work, which combines a western orchestra with a massive eastern gamelan orchestra on one stage to create a percussion player’s whimsical dream come true. The piece was commissioned especially for Stewart and the percussion ensemble D’Drum and will be conducted by Jaap van Zweden.
Robert Rollins company party
Robert Rollins Pictures had a party celebrating the launch of the campaign for “Lanterns for the Dead”. I am slated to be the film composer, and will write the score some time next year.
