I had a wonderful time this week in Los Angeles—recording, visiting with friends and enjoying the rainy weather along the coast.
FIRE CITY, the supernatural thriller created by Brian Lubocki & Michael Hayes, is awesome!
I'm sworn to secrecy about the specific actors and certain details, but what I *can* say is this: from concept to script to cast and crew, they're making all the right decisions.
One of those great decisions was selecting the talented film composer Ryan Leach, whose moody and inventive score serves the FIRE CITY narrative beautifully. He pairs ethereal string voicings with menacingly low pedal tones to create a dark aural atmosphere. And at the heart of the work is a series of hauntingly plaintive flugelhorn themes that grow gradually more insistent as rhythmic figures emerge in the orchestration. The effect is hypnotic! Check it out here.
Heartfelt thanks to Mike and Brian for inviting me to play a small part in a big, very cool project. Thanks to you both, and to Pamela and the girls, too for the hospitality. It was a great hang.
