Nick Wood – Hollywood Piano Session

July 26th, 2012 § 0 comments § permalink

Another Saturday night in Studio 3 at East West for Nick Wood.

After a long day of string recording, I began a marathon piano session into the wee hours on the Steinway.

Watching the Grand Prix this morning made me homesick!

This photograph is of me on the Silverstone starting grid for the 1991 British Grand Prix, with Alain Prost behind me, getting into his Ferrari.

p.s. – I think that Simon or Yasmin Lebon took the photo.

July 7th, 2012 § 0 comments § permalink

Thanks to Steven Swimmer for inviting me to be a part of such a brilliant panel discussion about film music for PopCon LA.

It was amazing to meet and hear the views of such an accomplished group of human beings!

Richard Gibbs – legendary film & tv  composer and ex-Oingo Boingo member, and “the only person photographed in both Keyboard magazine and Surfer magazine”.

MJ Mynarski “is a contemporary film composer who hates to write about himself in the 3rd person”.

Anna Granucci is an actress, director, music supervisor, and film producer.

Sean Fernald, who worked on Liberty and the Wedding Album for Duran Duran when he was at Capitol Records, and who signed Marina V after seeing her at our JJ Song Salon.

David Weitzman, Senior Business Director for my old friends Robert Ott and Michael McCarty of Toronto’s Olé, who has worked for MTV, E!, NBC, Paramount, WB…
