Hope Again

DKB — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 10:42:41 +0000

Last week, I scored this informational video for a cool non-profit organization called Hope Again. Their mission is simply to serve the poor, homeless, and disenfranchised in the Hollywood area, assisting those who are trapped in poverty, crime and substance abuse. Please check out the video to find out more!

GOLDEN GOAL! Premieres May 19, 2011

DKB — Wed, 18 May 2011 23:20:36 +0000

Hi, all! I'm very excited to announce that, according to my partner-in-crime and co-composer for the movie Golden Goal!—Deane Ogden—the aforementioned film is set to premiere in Jakarta, Indonesia, tomorrow, May 19th, at Planet Hollywood. It'll have a two-month run in over a hundred theaters throughout southeast Asia—this includes Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore. Should the film prove successful in those venues, there's a possibility it will roll out to China and Thailand, as well! I'll keep you all posted if that happens.

Golden Goal! is a fun, hilarious sports comedy film that composer Deane Ogden and I scored last year. In general, Deane took on more of the "rock" sections of the music, while I provided much of the orchestral elements and themes.

I realize that with most of my audience being in the U.S., much of you probably won't have the opportunity to see this film, but I'll share what I can when I can.

UPDATE: According to this Twitter post from Deane Ogden, profits from Golden Goal! will go toward support of medical services for children born with AIDS, via the Syair Untuk Sahabat Foundation. Great idea, and a good cause!

Artistic Connections

I recently scored this neat little stop-motion short for a friend at Azusa Pacific University. Nothing complicated; just fun, creative and colorful! Here's a link to the Facebook page referenced in the video. And check out her other videos at her YouTube page.

Enjoy!

Festivals Have Faith in BAD FAITH

DKB — Tue, 03 May 2011 06:11:00 +0000

Bad Faith has now been screened at several film festivals throughout the state. In 2010 it won Best Drama Feature at the Action On Film International Film Festival in Pasadena, CA. This year, so far it's received awards for Best Special Effects at Indie Fest USA and Best Filmmaker-Actor in a Feature Film at Bare Bones Film Festival. Congratulations to all who had a hand in this awesome project!

Additional Music for CHUCK and HUMAN TARGET

DKB — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 07:00:00 +0000

Set your DVRs, point your web browser to Hulu or Amazon, or load up iTunes! This month, I lent a helping hand to composer (and all-around awesome guy) Tim Jones by providing a bit of additional score for two episodes of NBC's Chuck and an episode of FOX's Human Target. To hear my music, check out Chuck's season 4, episodes 12 and 13—"Chuck vs. the Gobbler" and "Chuck vs. the Push Mix"—and Human Target's season 2, episode 11—"Kill Bob." (Really, you all should be watching these shows, anyway. They're a blast—sometimes literally!)

And sorry, I'm pretty sure I can't share this music on my site. If you want to hear it (and I really hope you do), don't hesitate to shoot me an email!

Children's Hunger Fund

DKB — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 07:00:00 +0000

I just had the opportunity to write some music for this amazing non-profit organization: Children's Hunger Fund. The mission of CHF seems quite self-explanatory, but I seriously urge you to take a look here for more information.

Or, you could watch this informational video about the organization! I provided the first musical cue that plays in the video. Enjoy!

Thanks so much to Garnett Lee for featuring some of my music on this episode of the video gaming podcast Weekend Confirmed! You'll find the "Music Break" section at about 1:34:33.

Seriously, though, even despite my music, if you're interested in video gaming at all, you should go subscribe to this awesome podcast!

Libraries!

DKB — Sat, 01 May 2010 06:00:00 +0000

I've now been included in the roster of composers which contribute music to Paramount/CBS Television Distribution's own music library! This music is used for such shows as The Oprah Winfrey Show, Dr. Phil, Rachael Ray, Entertainment Tonight, The Insider, and The Doctors. Unfortunately, due to the highly sensitive ~~and overprotective~~ nature of these studios, I can't share this music with you all. But as a little treat, here are clips of some music that ISN'T AT ALL RELATED.

Not. At. All.

Hi, all! Just wanted to let everyone know that the DVD release of And We Will Dance is now available for purchase! Steve Childs (director, producer, cinematographer, and painter) has put a lot of time and resources into this award-winning documentary, and it was such a pleasure to be able to write an original score to complement it.

Also, if you happen to be in the Winston-Salem, NC, area on May 24 at 8 pm, swing by the a/perture cinema for a special viewing of And We Will Dance! Click here for ticket information and purchasing. There will also be a short Q & A after the screening. I won't be able to attend the event, unfortunately, since I'm on the opposite side of the country, but I do hope some of you can make it!
