For the film Revolt, I wanted the music to feel mechanical and alien, so we built an orchestra out of obsolete tech. Anybody have fond memories of this floppy disk drive noise?

Themes aren’t just melodies, they’re storytelling tools. For Percy Jackson Season 2, the music had to evolve with Percy.

What are your favorite character themes ever written for a film, tv series, or video game?

When writing the score to #PercyJackson, I was inspired by the composer who first inspired me as a kid! Who was the first composer to inspire YOU?

The Season 2 soundtrack for @percyseries.bsky.social is OUT NOW. Reimagining the main title was intimidating, but the goal was simple: deeper sound, higher stakes. Enjoy! 🐻♥️

There was only one singer I hoped to work with to craft a satisfying conclusion to this musical arc. I was honored to collaborate with the legendary Annie Lennox to create one last “Skye Boat Song” for #Outlander ’s final season.

I am horrified and saddened at the tragic loss of one cinema’s greatest directors.

I can’t even begin to list the films this guy made that impacted me throughout my life. We all know them. A legend. A true genius.

Rest in peace, Rob Reiner 💔

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) ...

Thrilled for my dear friend David Henry Hwang.
So happy for you and honored to be working with you on #ParticleFever

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?

Had a blast last night seeing @coheedandcambria.bsky.social at The Greek, with my buddy Miles Dean. Congrats to my pals Claudio P. Sanchez, Travis Stever, Zachary Cooper & Josh Eppard. You guys took us on an emotional sci-fi journey! Thank you for the invite.

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)
