I believe it was about 1997 when I was doing music for student films that I was asked by a friend who worked for a video production company if I would like to do music for their promotional demo.  It was to be in the style of a James Bond opening title sequence with guns, girls and unusual images.  I recently found the cassette tape version of this and I have cleaned it up and added a few samples to spice it up a little.

Spy Wear

Re-uploaded for better sound 12/23/13

I am continuing to dig up some of my old tracks. I'm guessing this one is from about 1996 and is part of the "trilogy plus one" of spy music that I was into at the time. There was
1) Spy Wear (which I recently posted)
2)this
3)Something called "The Ski Mask Affair" (which I might post soon)

and a full film score called "Tormented Soles" (Soles was spelled that way on purpose because the film involved some intrigue at a shoe repair shop).

Anyway, this one is bizarre in concept because it was the theme song for a TV show that never existed but I thought it might be fun to write one as sort of an exercise.

I'm having trouble remembering who played on this. Specifically the guitars. I know that I'm playing the saxes and I think some of the guitars might be me but I think at least some of them are either Rick (Van Benschoten) or Rob Destefano. Maybe you guys could help me out to remember. I do know that a lot of credit goes to Rick on the production including the sound effects that I tortured him over and the drum parts. I might even go so far to say that this was a collaboration with Rick and that he probably should get at least 50% of the credit (or blame) for this piece. In true theme song tradition, it runs 1-minute in length.

February 9, 2014:  Rick has reminded me of some details.  I quote him here:  "I don't remember who played the fuzz lead guitars, but Rob played the funky rhythm guitar. The first time he played it, one of the parts was 4 bars early or something so I showed off how I could fly something in using the sampler locked to the sequencer. Wait, now I remember, Rob played the fuzzy lead, at least at the end; I remember him on the outro. I played the jazzy lead gtr at :46. You wrote the first half of the melody to play on sax but couldn't come up with a second half. I finished it and could play it on gtr. I didn't remember double-tracking it, it sounds cool! The bass sound is the "Lately Bass" patch on the Yamaha TX-81Z."

Theme From "Sinkraft" (Whose Baby are you?)

How The West Was Depressed

Another reclamation project.  I'm guessing this one was from about 1993 and restoring it presented more difficulties than usual since each section seemed to have it's own problems.  I was able to salvage it but I think I might have even had a little divine intervention to help me fix one part.  This is from my film scoring days and is third in the spy-music trilogy.   It depicts espionage at an airport. 

The Ski Mask Affair

1997:  I was approached to do music for a film about espionage where messages were passed at a shoe repair shop.  This is why the film was called Tormented Soles and not Tormented Souls.  Anyway, this was the music from the climactic scene.  Brief vocal here from Ruth Makofske.

Riverside Rendezvous from "Tormented Soles"

I was transferring some of my old music from cassette to digital and thought this one was worth posting.  I think it was done around 1990 and was completely recorded from an old Yamaha YS200

Web Of Triangles

Lost in the Past

Outake from another student film that I scored.  It didn't really work with the film but I like it by itself

The Couch

Dada is Dead-da

More music for Japanese Anime.  This is the scene where the robot thingies fight and posture at each other.  I know the title is spelled wrong but that was how the kid who made the film spelled it. 

Dai Keiser III

Main theme from the film of the same name

Desiring Juliet theme

Most of the voices heard (except the poem) are from a cassette tape that was left in an old portable cassette recorder bought at a garage sale.  Guitar by Rob Destefano.  Bass by Rick Van Benschoten.  

This was from an odd black and white short film but the name escapes me.  He wanted it to be like a Badalamente/Lynch piece but I'm not quite sure I achieved that.  He wrote the poem but wanted me to read it.  I am not and never will be an actor.
