Cue of the Week: “Struggle in the Sands”
Nothing perks up a Friday like some wholesome battle-to-the-death music. Here’s some Mideastern-styled combat score from Empire Earth 3. This cue features hand percussion, snarling brass, and a few “extras” for color. (The cello routed through a guitar amplifier is not, strictly speaking, traditional Mideastern instrumentation.)

The Children’s Brain Tumor Project
It’s hard to find a better cause than an effort to fight brain tumors in children. I was honored to offer some of my film score cues for the informational videos of the Children’s Brain Tumor Project. More information about the foundation can be found here.

“A Feast of Snacks” at the 2016 Hollywood Fringe
My stage musical A Feast of Snacks is currently running at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Feast is a collection of four short musical comedies, each about fifteen minutes in length. Most of the shows are award-winning graduates of various short play festivals around the world. Produced by Theatre Unleashed (of which I am a newly minted artist-in-residence), the production runs through late July.
Showtimes and ticket information can be found here. If you’re in the area, I hope you can make it!
