Lush orchestral strings and brilliant brass.

Nightfall

For this piece, I used only the trumpet stem, a theme I really enjoyed working with.

My aim with this piece was to immediately cause the listener to be curious and have questions about what is transpiring, and actually take them somewhere in the short amount of time permitted with dynamic changes in mood and instrumentation that make sense, sound right and feel right. I wanted to leave the listener with both a sense of arrival and an open-ended sensation--that there is more to come; that the story has just begun.

Some of the fun composing this piece involved incorporating a voice created from scratch in Zebralette, and also some homemade samples (recorded with my iPhone) then digitally shaped...some are prominently heard and others more concealed. Who knew a pipe-wrench could be an orchestral instrument?!

It's pretty sweet I can now say I've collaborated with Hans Zimmer. Hopefully, it's just the beginning.
