Hoppers is Out!

Hoppers is out and off to a fantastic start at the box office. Chuffed to have been involved in another score by Mark Mothersbaugh. It was great to meet and hang with director Daniel Chong during the sessions and hear about the process of making the film. It’s amazing how much time goes into creating one of these. As usual, it was a huge team effort. Jeremy Levy, Lorenzo Carrano, Pano Fountas, Ryan Humphrey, and Jordan Siegel all delivering as always. Thanks as well to Sunna…

Outer Worlds 2 is Out!

I had the pleasure of arranging jazz songs for the radio soundtrack of Outer Worlds 2. Working on tunes by my friend Jim Bonney, who brought me on board, was an absolute blast.

Grammy-nominated composer, arranger, drummer and band leader Tim Davies formed his first big band in 1998 in Melbourne, Australia.
