Now And Then

Quantum

Journey's end

Light and Shadow

This piece is basically A/B/A in form with an extended ending followed by a coda of sorts. It's a mixture of lyrical romanticism, bits of American folk and even film music language. The A section is  based on an older original song with a spiritual text while the B section is all new material based mainly upon the newly composed intro.

Romanza

This piece was born out of an attempt to emulate the wonderful Classicism in the Hans Zimmer and Rupert Gregson-Williams scores in the Netflix series, THE CROWN. Particularly, the multilayered, String and Woodwind textures which are marvels of invention. As usual, once I've done a section based upon that inspiration, I move into other musical areas I'm attracted to. In this case I return to the opening, develop it and move on again.

Crowned

I wanted to do a 'hybrid' bit of music (orchestral and synthesizers) and brush up on working with synths and effects.  It's conceived as a title track and based upon a script I read of a dark police story in the streets of LA. Since the story goes from the 40's to present day, I tipped my hat to a few different music eras as well as a couple different composers who scored dark film subjects in those eras. It was a lot of fun doing it.

Zero Dark 40's
