FILM MAKERS: I am looking for indie films to score. Almost any type film. No slasher or porn. Fees negotiable. Orchestral/electronic style preferred. I can do everything in my home studio via MIDI, or if you want live players, and have the budget, I can write and produce the recording using any size ensemble. If you wish for me to fly in to meet with you for spotting, that is possible. As I compose, I send mp3s for you to put up against your picture. Then you email or call with notes. This procedure works great and allows me to live where I want. Please, if you wish to use any of the music on this page in your production, contact me. I'm sure we can work out a deal. 6/30/03 Whacked! is now out on VHS/DVD and can be rented at Blockbuster, etc. 6/19/03 Finished the score for the feature They're Watching You. 64 minutes worth. Awaiting final audio mix... Next in the works: probably a new piece for the Langroise Trio, another string trio premiere for their upcoming season. CLASSICAL
3/20/03 The premiere of my Three Dances was great! Beautiful choreography by Carl Rowe of Idaho Dance Theater,. We packed the house on both Friday and Saturday nights.
