Angels and Demons trailer
Sometimes we work on projects that take a great deal of time, then regrettably never get used, and this is one. Nevertheless, this is one of my favorite dramatic orchestral trailer compositions, written for the trailer of the Ron Howard/Tom Hanks/Dan Brown film Angels and Demons.
Observers may note that there’s hardly a melody in this trailer. It’s all finely textured orchestral tapestries, which involved many layers of parts in order to achieve. As a big fan of contemporary American composer John Adams and his minimalism, this trailer is a slight homage to his style, although it’s a good deal more Hollywood than Adams would normally write. I specifically recalled some moments in Adams’ massive choral-orchestral work Harmonium to achieve these effects.
This is promising and a good first step, but there’s so much more to do. And many loopholes ahead.
Wow. A treasure trove of lost #MarvinGaye material, which poses some interesting legal questions:
So. I've got some news. Something new on my plate. And it involves @The_SCL. I'm really excited for this next chapter in the journey:

every time I listen to Scarlatti I kick myself for not listening to more Scarlatti
Curious to see where this ends up. Desert island selection, and you can only listen to one, and the other doesn’t exist:
