May20 is World Fiddle Day.Terra is a homeless girl w/special earth-moving powers who joins the Teen Titans. Terra’s theme incorporates Celtic elements, so I chose fiddle+Irish whistle to accompany this sequence. Terra’s story is tragic, but at least for an evening, everything in the world felt okay.

Today (April 18) is #SupermanDay —To celebrate, here is #ShirleyWalker ā€˜s iconic ā€œSuperman: The Animated Seriesā€ theme. Her three-note motif cleverly calls out ā€œSu-per Man!ā€ Do you know any other TV/Film themes that say the title or the main character’s name? (1/3)🧵

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a concept of what motivates human behavior, proposed by the American psychologist Abraham Maslow Many in LA are simply in survival mode, at level 2 at the most. Check in on your friends+family and make sure they’re ok. It really makes a difference to feel the supportšŸ™

A total #lunareclipse in the US overnight, AKA the ā€œblood moon.ā€ The moon entered the Earth’s shadow to create a total lunar eclipse for the first time since November 2022, according to NASA. The moon turned deep shades of rusty red throughout the more than hourlong totality

#InternationalWomensDay 2025 I celebrate the strong, powerful women artists I’ve been surrounded by my entire career. You all are amazing—I’m grateful to know & support you as you share your gifts with the world! Here’s the theme to ā€œSpace: Above & Beyondā€ by my mentor, the legend Shirley Walker

Please join me in wishing a very happy birthday to Gregg Bishop, a director/writer/editor I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with since 2005. Which is amazing because we’re both still 29, right? Right??? šŸ˜‚ have a great day, my friend! @greggbishop.bsky.social

Memories: One of the last things we did in public before the lockdowns! Michael & I joined @never5get.bsky.social for #StudioSoundtracks on @dublab.bsky.social radio to talk all things film scoring and share some of our music. Thanks Chandler and WhiteBearPR for having us on! Mar 5, 2020

Dusk in #LosAngeles #CaliforniaDreaming

I am mortified watching the disrespectful way the president & vice president are treating the leader of a sovereign country facing invasion, countless tragic deaths & cities reduced to rubble. You can disagree with policy, but the lack of respect and empathy is appalling.

I stand unequivocally with the people of Ukraine. I posted a piano performance of the Ukrainian National Hymn 3 years ago and on this anniversary my support is as strong as ever. In solidarity #SlavaUkraini šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦ (1/2) youtu.be/Vp1GUxktL8M

#HollywoodInBeijing scoring session, co-conducted/produced with Stephen Barton & mixed by Phil McGowan. The musicians played beautifully! For aspiring studio players, work on perfecting your sight reading—recording sessions are done at sight with no prior rehearsal. (1/2)

With Amazon taking full control of the #JamesBond franchise, I’m sure any product placement will be subtle, right???

Scoring session day at #HollywoodInBeijing. The orchestra will be here soon and we’ll be recording the participant’s cues. Grateful to collaborate with my co-mentors Stephen Barton and Phil McGowan at the workshop #filmcomposer #conductor #filmmusic #filmscore #filmscores

Continuing composition while in Beijing for director Manny Duran’s project #TheBadMan. Nearly done! By the way, an iPad connected with lightning cable makes a fantastic portable second monitor šŸ’” #filmcomposer #filmscore #filmmusic

Birthday Beijing-style! I’m currently in China as a mentor to the Hollywood in Beijing Composer Workshop & I’m grateful to Leo, Sookie, Yefan, co-mentor & all-around amazing human Stephen Barton & the workshop participants for throwing a wonderful celebration with cakes, candles & delicious BBQ.

Grateful for world-class musicians like Ashley Jarmack to bring the little notes on the page to roaring life creating music together for director Manny Duran’s new project #TheBadMan — we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! (1/2)

Four years ago I DJ’d a virtual dance party for #SundanceFilmFestival ā€˜21. Thx WhiteBearPR for having me as part of #FilmMusicHouse šŸ™ It’s still online if you’d like a fun set of dance music to listen to in the background… or even to dance to at home like nobody’s watching! šŸ’ƒšŸ•ŗ youtu.be/HH8oq2w7Y3Q

@waynardb.bsky.social hi Wayne—great to see you here! šŸ‘‹šŸ˜Š

Hello Charu! Nice to connect here on BlueSky too šŸ‘‹šŸ˜Š @charu.bsky.social

This was the last thing I produced in my studio before evacuating, and in my own desire to spread some normalcy among the current turmoil I’d like to share it. Finishing the discussion of the dulcimer, here is a short clip of my theme in minor (Dorian mode) tonality... (1/3)

Grateful to have music that must be written to occupy the mind during this turbulent time. The fire danger isn’t over—please continue to keep first responders, those affected by the fires, and all of LA in your thoughts šŸ™šŸ™šŸ™

Here’s how to play a minor melody on a mountain dulcimer that only has the frets to play in a major key: change the mode! If you begin on the second degree of a major scale (say in the key of D, as the dulcimer is currently tuned), the ascending pitches are: E F# G A B C# D E. This is called… (1/3)

Meet the #MountainDulcimer —a folk instrument I’m using on one of my scores. It has frets that only allow playing in a major key. Can you think how I could play a minor melody on the tonic pitch? Let me know in the comments — I’ll post the solution tomorrow! #filmcomposer #filmscore #folkinstrument
