Did you know
- TriviaWent to UCLA where he discovered his passion for scoring movies.
- QuotesWe're all pigeonholed, to a certain extent. People have their perceptions of what we do best. But, of course, it's better to be pigeonholed than not get any work. I'm not asked to do comedies very often, which would be a drag except I have friends who can't stand being pigeonholed as comedy scorers.
- TrademarkVirtuoso orchestral writing, especially for the brass section, including polytonality and extremly fast high staccato notes for the trumpets. Often uses "pyramid chords" (large chords building gradually up from the lowest note).
