Thanks for making weird noises with me!!

Screwdriver, from Askari Productions, No Sudden Movies, and Buffalo 8 is out today on Amazon Prime and Vudu, and the soundtrack is now available on all streaming platforms!

Creating the score for Cairo Smith’s debut feature film was such a fun experience. Cairo and I connected on the vision for this music right away— classical/orchestral through a progressively warped lens - and collaborating with him was a total joy, as was the process of exploration and discovery that this music took me on. This score worked my composing muscles hard, both musically and technically, and I’m immensely proud of the result.

Congrats to Cairo Smith (Director), Rand Vossler, Christopher Corey Smith , and Michelle Shundo (Producers), and the teams at Buffalo 8 , Askari Productions , and No Sudden Movies on the release. And huge praise for the amazing talent and energy of the cast and crew that brought this film to life!

Also a big thanks to James Vitz Wong , Cellista , and Nigel Deane .93 for playing Bass, Cello, and Violin/Viola, respectively, on the score. It was a blast exploring both textural soundscapes and classical melodies. And thanks to the always pro Kevin Patel for some assisting work on the score as well!

I'm beyond excited that Fair Play is coming to theaters starting today for a very short run prior to its worldwide release on Netflix on Oct 6th. Working with composer Brian McOmber (formerly of the band Dirty Projectors) on his score for this film as an additional music composer/string arranger/synthesizer, electronics, and (strange) viola player was an enormous privilege.
If you love going to the movies this is a great opportunity to support struggling local theaters and show streaming services like Netflix that we still want to see movies on the big screen!

I’m so proud to have worked with composer Matthias Weber on the music for this amazing show for the last four years, since the first season. Season 3 was the biggest one yet, and it’s really humbling and gratifying for the music to be recognized by our peers here in Hollywood.

And with it, our first merch drop! Season pass holders receive 25% off the coupon code in the member's area of the website.

Episode 3 is out now & shows the heart and soul of TMoC. In light of recent attacks on diversity in media, this is a message that stings. It's just one example of the kind of intolerance that holds humanity back, time and time again. We hope you listen, find it, & feel it.

I’m beyond thrilled to have worked once again with composer Matthias Weber on the score for the third season of Das Boot as a music arranger, orchestrator, and VI/Synth programmer. I’m so grateful to be a part of this amazing international series that, this season, takes us to Portugal, England, Germany, and of course deep into the Atlantic for plenty of submarine suspense. Season 3 premiered on Sky TV in Europe, and other platforms around the world this spring and summer, and the soundtrack is out today on all digital platforms! For my friends and family in the US, you’ll have to wait a little longer for the new seasons to arrive here, but for now you can keep enjoying Season 1 on Hulu and enjoy the soundtrack in the meantime. Thanks again, Matthias, for bringing me along for such an incredible ride! 🛳🌍🎶
