We got Thom singing in season 1! And the Manetheren song in both sS1 and S3! Elayne's "The Hills of Tanchico" remains one of the highlights of the entire series to me! A gift from Rafe, everyone involved, & especially @nikhilkoparkar.bsky.social , Ceara Coveney, Alexandre Willaume, & Donal Finn!
One of my favorite projects has been composing the bespoke soundtrack for Philip Chase’s Edan Series. In this clip, I talk about how we incorporated an original in-world language into the score to make the music feel like it genuinely belonged to the world. 🎼📚
Here’s the main theme from THE CONDUIT, the new horror film I scored and co-produced! One thing I learned on this project is how valuable it is to be on set. Watching the actors inhabit the space and experiencing the atmosphere in person influenced the music in ways I don’t think the cut ever could
ROLL CALL #jordancon - who else will be there? Looking forward to meeting as many of you as I can in person!
Another one for the books! It was great meeting new filmmakers, as well as celebrating the end of the festival run for THE CONDUIT, a film I was fortunate to compose the music for and co-produce How lucky am I to work with such talented people who I can also call some of my closest friends? ❤️
Fantastic times celebrating this year’s Oscar nominees and winners at the SCL reception this past weekend!
Fantastic night at @guildofmusic.bsky.social awards, celebrating the nominees and winners, reconnecting with friends and colleagues, and being reminded that the industry may go through changes, but the community has never been stronger ❤️
After writing music for shows like The Wheel Of Time, I decided to turn the lens inward, and write something personal. Inspired by Walden by Henry David Thoreau. The title track of a three-EP interconnected concept. Face the Music is out now.
I’ve spent the last several years writing music for film, television, and fantasy worlds. This time, I had to turn the lens inward. “Face The Music” is about confronting yourself and finding the courage to be true to yourself. Out Friday. If that resonates, presave it now. Link below..
This is yours as much as it is ours #thewheeloftime fans. Thanks for championing the song, and for believing in me 6 years ago when I first wrote a musical love letter for the books we love so much. ❤️
OMG 😱 We are nominated for an SCL Award!! I’m beyond honored to be included alongside such a stacked list this year, especially for a song rooted in a book series that’s deeply personal to me.
Had to take the obligatory #thewheeloftime bookstore pic 😂❤️ best series ever, and working on the show was a dream.
What a spectacular time at the @hmmawards last week! Although we didn’t take home an award, it was a blast hanging with friends and celebrating so many of their wins! You know it’s a good time when you forget to take any pics of your own😆😀
Never did I think I’d be nominated for something alongside @kevinbaconn.bsky.social but here we are! Thanks #thewheeloftime for embracing “The Hills Of Tanchico”, and HMMA for the nom!
Ahh @filmquest! 😍 What an unforgettable first year. Beyond honored to celebrate our film THE CONDUIT and its 4 nominations surrounded by some of my closest friends and collaborators.
