I surprised famed cult movie composer @chuckcirino.bsky.social with a request for his Top 5 Spaghetti Western Film Scores, and he listed them immediately! What scores would YOU add to this list?

Part 2 coming soon!

The #Deathstalker soundtrack and music video are finally here!

I had a blast collaborating with Slash, Brendan McCreary, Gene Hoglan, Omer Ben-Zvi, and Pete Griffin to reimagine Chuck Cirino's timeless theme for the 80’s cult classic Deathstalker II (Steven Kostanski) ...

NEW TOUR BLOG: My travels across North America begin!

I added three new songs to the set, bought a taiko drum, and pranked my guitar tech Jai with a new hurdy gurdy.

This was a short run for a big continent. What cities in North America should we hit up next time?

When I signed on to #ChildsPlay in 2019, I told them I wanted to use a toy orchestra. I don’t think they took me seriously at first, but the rest is history.

Anyone else ready for spooky season?

When #GodofWar, #TheSingularity, and #Eivør collide! Working together on God of War was one of those rare experiences that stays with you forever. I’m grateful we could join forces again on The Singularity where her voice naturally brought this track to life. Maybe we should do more? 👀

I had fun playing hurdy gurdy for my dear friends Ira Ingber and Steve Bartek on the debut LP of their new band BarIng All.

I’ve been jamming with these gentlemen for more than 20 years, on countless scores and concerts. (Continued in thread)

Tearfully celebrating the life and music of Supertramp’s Rick Davies.

A generational talent, he wrote “Bloody Well Right,” one of the most iconic songs of the decade.

Sending condolences and gratitude to his family. #RIP ❤️🎹

What's your favorite Supertramp song?

Sometimes a movie just needs a little tune-up. Had a blast collaborating with the geniuses at @redlettermedia.com to re-score, re-edit, and remix a few scenes from “Talos,” a film that’s truly the #BestOfTheWorst.
