“Andheri” won the Grand Jury Prize at the San Francisco Shorts fest a couple of weekends ago.
I started writing some cues for TMZ/Extra this week.
I had the tremendous pleasure of recording vocalist Jacob Luttrell this past weekend for a song I cowrote and will coproduce with Ben Crippin Taylor.

I recently completed two suspense/action tracks for X-Ray Dog that are going into mastering this week, including “Simmer,” which is featured on my site’s web player. Alongside my track “Last Chance,” which was released on the “Night Hounds” disc in January, and another two tracks I completed in early August, I now have a total of seven X-Ray Dog tracks available for advertising and trailer licensing.
I also finished writing the score for Harry Chaskin’s “Bygone Behemoth,” a brilliant claymation short that will be making the festival rounds in the coming months.
Finally, In the past month I have been going through a long overdue major equipment upgrade in my studio, and I’m looking forward to getting my new rig up and running for projects coming up later this fall.
Nothing to divulge about my upcoming projects just yet – stay tuned.

During the past couple months:
-The documentary “No Way to Say Goodbye,” which I scored, was acquired by a distributor, New Love Films.
-Scored an online advertisement for Trojan Condoms, directed by filmmaker Dave Green.
-Completed two tracks for an X-Ray Dog release that entered the mastering phase today, with several more in the works for releases later in the year.
-Starz original series “Party Down,” for which I wrote additional music, entered an international distribution agreement and was picked up for a second season this fall.
-Scored three short films with two more lined up for July, including “To Live and Dine in LA” starring David Hasselhoff.
-Have been engaged in a promising demo process to compose for a major, highly creative and award-winning advertising agency; more on that soon.
Looking forward to the great summer that lies ahead; stay tuned!

2009 has been a terrific year so far. I had my first X-Ray Dog track come out in January on their “Night Hounds” disc. “Andheri” has been very successful, having been picked up for international distribution by Premium Films and placements at many film festivals. “A Work of Art” was picked up at several festivals as well. “Russel Fish” was picked up for its first festival this week – the Palm Springs Film Festival. Finally, my music is featured on a number of episodes of “Party Down,” which has been playing on Starz this month.
Currently, I am beginning work on four short film scores and I have several X-Ray Dog tracks in the works for upcoming releases (May-June).
