I wrote 3 songs for "Wall-E and Eve (Music inspired by Pixar/Disney's WALL-E)". Walt Disney Records asked me to write a groovy, pop song incorporating the robot Wall-E's quirky sounds and vocalizations. Things went so well that they asked for a couple more songs. "Clean Up Time" and "Signs of Life" were both written using the environmental theme that runs through the movie as inspiration. Available now on iTunes.
Disney's 'Princess Protection Program' July 11, 2008
I've started scoring Princess Protection Program for Disney. It stars Demi Lovato (Camp Rock), who Disney has high hopes in becoming their next bright star!
Also... I spent a month working with Randy Edelman on the score to Sony's summer tentpole movie, The Mummy 3: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor. Pretty exciting stuff.
This past year I've really spent a lot of time writing pop songs again. I've written about 15 songs in various styles, and producing the tracks has been loads of fun. Fingers crossed, we'll see if we can get any action... It seems the TV series, Poltergeist - The Legacy, has seen a bit of a resurgence lately. It's great to see it again in syndication this year, along with The Outer Limits.
String session at Abbey Road Studios April, 2008
I wrote an orchestral string arrangement for the end title song “This Is Home” by Switchfoot, which is featured in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. We recorded the orchestra at London's famed Abbey Road Studios.
It's been a busy year September 10, 2007
Started the year with an episode of ABC's Masters of Science Fiction, working with producer/writer Sam Egan, who I spent a lot of time with during the Outer Limits run. I also scored the film Christmas is Here Again, an animated feature film with Brad Garrett, Ed Asner, Kathy Bates, and other great voice talent. I also arranged and orchestrated the eleven songs in the movie. Quite a project!
Got involved with a really touching documentary, Where's Molly. I scored this very personal film for Jeff & Cindy Daly. The Where's Molly website is a really interesting visit. To learn about the story, go to www.wheresmolly.net.
Then there's War Games – The Dead Code for MGM, working again with director Stuart Gillard. Always a pleasure! Wargames is a big action suspense movie with a big score to match. Also in '07 there was the fourth season of The 4400 (it's not official, but this might be the last season of the show). It's been a great ride with Scott Peters and Co. Scott did a great job directing four episodes this year, and I had a fun time scoring them.
I'm now finishing up Twitches Too, for Disney. The sequel to Twitches, it is a fantasy/adventure movie for the Halloween season, airing Oct. 5th.
I wrote three songs with Charlotte Martin. We are having a lot of fun writing together. We plan to keep it up.
A live project is in the talking/planning stages. Too early to talk about. All I can say is that it will be melodic, groovy, funky and probably have organ in it!
