I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of so many projects over the years – whether it be writing specifically for something, or giving out permission to use my music. Since I released my catalogue through Creative Commons, that list has grown considerably, and I love it. My music is starting to reach farther than I anticipated, and it’s because of the wonderful community that has supported me and my music. This trailer for my library celebrates the varied international community that has embraced my music. Thanks guys – I hope to give you a lot more music in...
Axl Rose and his Kick-Ass Vocal Range
Check out this amazing interactive graph of the vocal ranges of some of the world’s fave artists. If you click on each individual range for an artist, it will give you the songs which they hit those notes too – awesome stuff. Believe it or not, but Axl Rose can sing LOWER than Barry White. I know, right?! -s
HvZ: Origins – Zombies & Nerf Guns?!
Check out this neato short film – based on the modified game of tag that is seemingly growing in popularity amongst you crazy Americans. The short features a ton of my music from my library – glad to help the anti-zombie cause, guys! What will indie filmmakers do when zombie films become unpopular? I shudder to think… -s
Yes! Star Wars VII has REAL Puppet Characters Again!
J.J. Abrams released a short video this morning showing bits of the Star Wars set in Abu Dhabi, spruiking UNICEF and what-not. Bu J.J. is upstaged by the coolest puppeteered character I’ve seen in a while. I’m SOO glad to see this.

Rewatching the original trilogy on May 4, I was reminded how much more real the characters feel when they are physically on the set,...
‘Your Number’s Up’ is released on the ‘tube!
‘Your Number’s Up’ is a short film I scored about a year or so ago. Recently, it was released on YouTube by director Colin Ross Smith, and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Good laughs, great acting and a great twist at the end. A quick synopsis: Michael is fairly new to the drug dealing business. On the night of a deal he is forced to go solo when his partner in crime, Benny, cancels on him. However, it turns out that this is one night Michael could have done with having Benny at his side.

Once I ‘Remixed’ the Stargate Theme for a Fan-Film…
And the film was called ‘Stargate: Bringer of War’ – an idea from my good friend Colin Ross Smith of Foghorn Films. The title gave me the absolute right to blend the original Stargate theme by David Arnold with Holst’s well-known ‘Mars – the Bringer of War’ from his ‘The Planets’ suite. The result was what you hear here.
