Had a blast contributing additional music to the game Metro Awakening by @vertigogames for composer @AnneKathrinDern! Got to work on some dark and action-packed stuff - LOVE game music!
Excited for the Feb 3 premiere of “Paging Mr Darcy” for which I co-composed the score with @AnneKathrinDern - thank you Anne for the opportunity! It’s a really great movie - very funny and I love these characters. Check it out on @hallmarkchannel - you’ll love it!
A wonderful trip to London and Abbey Road with conductor Ben Palmer, mixer Nick Wollage, the London Symphony Orch and my talented fellow composers to record Hope Album a classical album for solo cello and orchestra for charity. Thank you cellist Andreas Graf for your vision!
Based on how well M2 performs, I predict an M3 Max MacBook Pro (coming next week) could serve as my main composing rig, and for 99% of film composers. Take your studio anywhere…
As I reported in August, Apple has been testing M3 Max and M3 Pro 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros. These include up to 16 CPU cores and 40 GPU cores, setting the stage for its most powerful laptops to date. And MacBook Pro inventory has run dry. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Was a blast Michael! Great meeting the students at @ThinkSpaceEd! And I think we should have a contest to see whose office is more purple. It’ll be close!
Doing a webinar with the amazing @davidkudell in 15 minutes for @ThinkSpaceEd! Why is there a Mandalorian helmet on the floor? That's top secret! Only ThinkSpace students are allowed to know. #musicdesign

Hey there fellow composers! I ran a bunch of tests comparing VEPro to a disabled track template, on the new Mac Studio. Hope it's helpful! youtu.be/2-0TYTsV5tk?si=vN-O…
I ran some composer-specific tests on the new Mac. If you’re trying to decide how much RAM and SSD to buy, or want to know whether there’s a benefit to storing sample libraries on faster internal or NVME SSDs, hopefully this video will be useful to you. youtu.be/834LhBjM2aM?si=D43X…
Working from home means a daily morning ritual of passing over many very nice shirts in your closet for a basic tee, since nobody is really going to see you anyway.

I worked as an assistant sound editor from 2000-2007 and was in the Editor’s Guild. 15 years later the union tracked me down and told me I have a pension when I retire. I wasn’t in it long enough to live off it, but it’ll pay a few bills when I retire. Composers deserve the same.
Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning is as close to perfect as a film can be. A blockbuster that somehow feels like a Hitchcock movie. The score by @Lornebalfe is phenomenal - both exciting and emotional.
Nobody benchmarks computer systems properly for orchestral composers. I’m working on a video testing the Mac Studio M2 Ultra. Is it fast enough to make VEPro obsolete? I’m testing project load times, save times, and comparing a full disabled track template to a VEPro one.
The new machine is up and running! 😍 My 2017 iMac Pro served me well, but it was loud and hot. This thing is silent and insanely fast. Running VEPro direct on machine about 100GB of 192GB RAM. Great time to be a Mac user!
I got out of the studio to meet @zachrobinson and @leobirenberg for an epic round of mini-golf and then I got to check out one of their Cubase sessions! We brought a camera along! youtu.be/JqWI0wWmaKc
Monday join me for an incredibly fun day as we go Out of the Studio with @zachrobinson and @leobirenberg composers of Cobra Kai and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story! Hope to see you there at the YouTube Premiere: youtu.be/JqWI0wWmaKc

A 5 minute excerpt of my score for "Infectious" is now up on YouTube, which features some variations on the main theme, along with a few moments of horror music that you can listen to the next time you find a spider in your home. youtu.be/E-GKogSFaUo
