Timeless villains. bsky.app/profile/chri...

There's nothing like a before-and-after comparison. This my friends is where my journey started: Stranger Things, the Van Chase from S01. After RE-vamping my RE-score of this, I RE-ally think I have to RE-watch the whole show. :) #soundtrack #rescore #filmmusic #composition

I’ve been incredibly busy these last few weeks: I’ve I finished working on two albums, Thunder Island and Conan and the Spidergod, as well as finished revamping my very first rescore, which was Stranger Things. Stay tuned for some content to be posted here and on FB and YT! #composer #filmmusic

I've always liked Canadians. bsky.app/profile/carl...

Just watched #alienromulus . Really well-made and true to the original science fiction horror. The references to the original were subtle yet effective and the orchestral power of Benjamin Wallfisch's score really elevated the whole movie. #moviesky #scifi #alien

😆

Can you believe it? I just saw this on the subway!! Must listen immediately! ;) #soundtrack #swashbuckler #filmmusic #newrelease #musicsky music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Shoutout for #TheRecruit - just finished s02. What a fast-paced, charming and exciting show. And @noahcentineo.bsky.social absolutely sells the character. A must-watch. #tvsky 👍

Finally!! My album #ThunderIsland has been submitted to streaming services and is already available on YT! Think Korngold, Debney, Rozsa - all inspirations for this #swashbuckler music that I did in 1997 with a synthesizer. And listen to it just now!! #soundtrack music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Inconceivable!

There's no arguing that this is one of the best love ballads ever written for cinema. (Why else would I have had it on my wedding!? :) ) James Horner certainly had a knack for songwriting. But what do you think of this version? youtu.be/uz9Ma8jx2Vk?... #soundtrack #filmmusic #musicsky #maskofzorro

The #NightAgent S02 is exciting and all, but it lacks the charme of S01. I don't like that they turned him into Jason Bourne. Makes the whole show kind of generic. I look forward to watching S03 though. #tvsky

Lucky me. I'm just listening to #Brainstorm by James Horner for the very first time and I feel like the kid again that I was in the 80s!! Quite a good score btw. with lots of Horner-isms of course, but hey, that's what I love him for. :) #soundtrack #filmscore #filmmusic

Forget Night Agent and others, #TheRecruit is the real deal. Charming actors, exotic locations and a plot that keeps going and going and going. Just perfect! #tvsky www.imdb.com/title/tt1603...

Jack Nicholson is about the same age as the pope. No wonder he chose to retire. #moviesky

Just re-watched The 13th Warrior, after many years. Didn't strike me as above average back then in 1999, but compared to today's movies it's a masterpiece. And Goldsmith's score is a feast for the ears. #moviesky

I didn't believe it until I tried: Doubling CSS w Pacific Strings elevates my compositions from "nice" to "epic". Couldn't work with Pacific alone, but the combination of detail and consistency of CSS with the body of Pacific - just gorgeous. #performancesamples #css #composition #mockup #vst

What if John Barry had scored #Goldeneye ? Well, this might give you an idea. Music by yours truly. #JamesBond #soundtrack #rescore youtu.be/_N5uVa6DrPw?... #filmmusic

I'm about to re-release two favorite compositions of mine. "Thunder Island" was originally composed in 1997, and "Conan and the Spidergod" in ~2003. It took me >20 years (!) to be able to make them sound really orchestral and powerful. Be prepared for some adventure greatness! #soundtrack #fantasy

Getting response like this makes making music even more rewarding!

I don't share this as often as I should. youtu.be/oHqAlz-JvUE?... #soundtrack #filmmusic #batman #hush

Just returned from the theatre with my daughter who didn't know the story. This is why I used to love movies so much. #moviesky boxd.it/F1Nk

Very exciting and well made. I was made to watch it by my daughter but in the end I enjoyed it. #moviesky boxd.it/nhSO

The #NightAgent S02 starts off quite as exciting as S01. I'm only 2 episodes in and hooked already.
