Hey all. I uploaded a newer piece on youtube and was hoping if you guys listened to it and liked it that you would help me out with thumbs up for algorithm purposes. The piece was called Baba Yaga when we recorded it in 2019 but it's officially called Death of Koschei the Deathless now. I wasn't allowed to share it all until it had a world premiere and that happened 18th of Feb.
 
Much Love and Thanks!

Not sure if I posted this but I wrote 7 little pieces (a suite) for 2022 World Cup in Doha, this time not for the opening ceremonies but for a pyrotechnics and fireworks show that played every night for a month over the Arbian Gulf. I wanted to share at least one of the little pieces I recorded with the Qatar Philharmonic. Hope you like it.

I just went to the one at the Royal Albert Hal in London last month. It was hysterical to go from complete orchestral fantastic music to basically sitting on the same key with repeated notes ad nauseam for the Zimmer fare. My friend who I took liked both but preferred Williams because of the magic it had, he's not musical, to me it was worth sitting through the Zimmer stuff to get to each Williams piece. Tonight I head to the Hollywood Bowl! Can't wait!

A little anecdote. Years ago when one of the composers there, a friend of mine, was getting up higher a bit he said they heard my stuff and wanted me to join the Zimmer group. I was like cool, I don't mind, but wait, what was I supposed to do for my first year.... be Zimmer's Chauffeur. I'm sorry but what?! lol. I'm not a struggling composer, nor am I ever hard up for money, compared to most people I have plenty. I was like, I'll hire him a chauffeur myself. I am not driving my BMW M series Z4 coupe, which I had just bought, from my house in West Hollywood to Malibu everyday and put miles on it and then drive him to Santa Monica, every day and back just to show him I'm wanting to be a composer. Like how insane is that? Instead I worked for Chris Young, I did menial things sure, that's not a problem, you want me to pick up your dry cleaning because we're on a movie, or pick up the kids and get them home or get you cigarettes, no problem. I'm also taking down dictation and reviewing scenes and coming up with ideas for scenes and orchestrating while I do everything and learning so much and he got me my green card etc etc. But to just be a chauffeur for a year and nothing else?!  Thank you but WTF NO! ROFL

Until the Baroque period CENTURIES ago when Back, Vivaldi and others decided to actually take you on some form of journey through a musical landscape filled with themes and modulation and orchestration and it continued growing from then on. Zimmer comes from a pop background where he and others like him do not know how to do all that, hence the simplistic and to some people "hypnotic" quality of his efforts lull them into thinking he is some sort of musical wonder. He really is not, plus, who is actually writing his stuff? Do you know that on one of his nature scores, he was on tour, three other composers did all the work, he did not write one note, yet it is his name on it? And no, this is not second hand info, trust me on this or not, it is true. Not even the main theme was him. Don't get me started hehe

Hoi polloi = the masses, the plebes. (Also sometimes means the elite, for some strange reason, but that’s certainly not the meaning I was going after.) Basically, any of us non-Zimmer-ites who don’t have homes in Malibu and aren’t the capos of our own film scoring mafias.

Growing up he was my favorite actor, from the Carry On comedies. I never realize someone dubbed his voice on top of Darth Vader, lol. No one might get it but thought I'd share!

I know he doesn't really write music, that's why i don't take him seriously.

Yes I know, it was just Star Wars, and no, that was the cute part. The way he was walking and needed some help here and there. I go pretty much every year, I can't remember him needing any help last two years and when he was conducting the way he was breathing even felt different. Still, more power to him and if only all of us are doing half as much as him at that age
