My favorite of the year so far! A total delight, and stunningly crafted (of course). The fact that this is handily in the bottom third of Wes’ filmography for me is just a testament to the excellence of his overall body of work.
Wes Anderson’s ‘THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME’ is now playing in theaters nationwide.

I’ve released a lot of new music the last couple months; here’s the last one for a little while! I had a wonderful time writing the music for the animated short film, GUARDIAN. There’s some action music and percussion writing in the score that I’m particularly proud of.

I had the honor of scoring the trailer for KinoFilm's 20th international short film festival in Manchester! To celebrate twenty years of independent film, I wrote a triumphant anthemic piece with big brass, drums, and insistent mixed meters.

New soundtrack out today!
Last year, I got to score Aaron Sams' wistfully whimsical animated short, LACRIMOSA, to which I took a unique approachach. He cited Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band as a visual influence on the film, so I decided to let that imprint extend into the music as well.
