Mission to Tehran

"Through all of history, there was only one genuinely nice guy, and his name was Philip, and he lived in the south of what we now call Luxembourg in the early Middle Ages. He seemed to have been illiterate, but several chroniclers corroborate his story and mention that he was really really nice. He was called by several writers "Phil the Pushover", "Phil the Wuss" and "Phil Who Still Wets His Bed At Night". Sadly, he was overrun one day by a group of religious fanatics on their way to the Holy Land for the First Crusade. He refused to join because, it is written, that he didn't think it was a very nice thing to do."

This is his theme song

1m2 - The Three Wars

Hello there! I am a composer and also a guitarist. You can think of me as a cross between Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath and Danny Elfman. I've played prog rock and heavy metal for many years and also write symphonic film music. I love to tell stories with music, whether or not it is synched to visuals. Also, I am a total gearhead and love digging into technology and electronics and hooking stuff up together and making music from many cooperating elements. I'm not afraid of writing in any style of music.
