This week’s selection is the orchestral main theme for a political thriller I scored back in the mid-90s, and the first major recording I conducted myself. We tracked at the fondly-remembered O’Henry Recording Studios, which has sadly joined the ranks of retired recording facilities. I was too young at the time to fully appreciate the quality of the union orchestra I had at my disposal, but the rich performance says it all.

	Tender Days

In this week’s selection, bluesy clarinet, piano, and strings create an atmosphere of old-school slyness. (As happens embarrassingly often with my older cues, I can’t remember who the soloists were. If you were one of them, feel free to write to me. 🙂 )

	The Big Plan

While not holiday music per se, this string cue has a folktune-like melody and cheerful mood that I thought might match the spirit of the season. See you in 2011!

	A Happy Gig

A chilly day in the mid-50’s (arctic by Los Angeles standards) inspires this week’s selection, one of the atmospheric winter cues I wrote for the PC game Empire Earth III. Enjoy, and bundle up.
