Cool, let's check in on those Beatles movies they're making. You know I'm a big fan!

It's gotten some unexpected laughs every time I've seen the movie in a theater and people realize what it's about. I'm surprised they didn't promote it more because it's very funny, but I think it was done outside of the purview of the score or for a sequence that got cut.

Newly acquired 1977 R2-D2 that will sit atop my ARP 2600 (AKA the synthesizer used to make his voice) for inspiration. Give me your power, Artoo!

I liked it a lot. It's in the same vein as the first Captain America movie. Mostly stand alone, well crafted, nothing too convoluted, and a light setup for the future.

I couldn't be more happy to have partnered with the Emperia on this soundtrack release. It's SO cool to have it not just on vinyl but also on CD and cassette! You can listen to the whole score and get a copy here:

Thank you! I would say it's serviceable, but we already had some good takes by the time this video was taken. This is indeed in Nashville, and they didn't really need my "help" up there πŸ˜‰.

I'll have more to share on the music very soon, but in the meantime, here's a minute of me pretending to know what I'm doing in the podium in front of an orchestra.

Here are some photos of the fabulous crew who helped me bring this soundtrack to life: audio director Dave Shumway, orchestrator and conductor Evan Rogers, and recording and mixing engineer Jason LaRocca. Along with the incredible Nashville musicians, I couldn't have done it without them.

I'm back from a prolonged absence to tell you all that #WILDGATE is finally available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC! Scored by Yours Truly. Working on the music for this game was the highlight of my year in 2024, and I'm thrilled it's finally out there in the world.
