Caprica Series Soundtrack Album

August 29, 2013

This summer has been very exciting! I was recently announced as the composer for Joss Whedon’s new series, Marvel’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” as well Starz’s epic new pirate drama “Black Sails.”  That same week, I was nominated for an Emmy for my Main Title Theme for “Da Vinci’s Demons.” My record label Sparks & Shadows shortly thereafter released my new soundtrack for the theatrical feature “Europa Report,” capping off a successful series of albums including “Da Vinci’s Demons” and  two albums of “Defiance.” Plus, I directed a music video and co-wrote a new song for a breathtaking time-lapse video! With all that happening to blog about, something very important silently slipped through the cracks, an event I’ve been eager to announce for several years: the release of my expanded soundtrack to the full series “Caprica.” I am thrilled to partner with my friends and La-La Land Records (for a fourteenth time!) to make this music available to fans in a two-disc limited edition CD (Click here to purchase).

Caprica: Apotheosis

January 5, 2011

The final five (pun intended) episodes of “Caprica” aired in the United States tonight, thus bringing this dynamic and ambitious series to a close.  These episodes comprise the strongest run in the series.  The writing, acting, directing and even the music all fuse together to deliver a concise and thrilling narrative.  If the show is to end, then at least we’re going out on a high note.

Caprica: End of Line

March 26, 2010

SPOILERS & SPECIAL MUSICAL GUEST AHEAD: Writing music for the “Battlestar Galactica” universe has pushed me to compose in some very unusual styles.  I’ve written sonatas, fugues, arias, passacaglias, oratorios, lounge music, theme and variations, string quartets, jazz, rock, heavy metal, world music and even hip hop.  For tonight’s mid-season finale of “Caprica,” I was asked to write an opera: a challenge I was thrilled to tackle.

End of Line is the most narratively ambitious episode of “Caprica” since the pilot.  Fates are decided, characters die (actually, lots of characters die) and the music needed to be appropriately powerful, poignant and dramatic.  Here, the boundaries between source and score are shattered once again, as score becomes source and vice versa.
