Fargo TV Series Score Available

Just a quick note to let you know that the gorgeous score for Fargo (An Original MGM / FXP Television Series) is now in stores! Composer Jeff Russo is a real talent and I enjoyed working with him on Fargo immensely. He and Noah envisioned the score before a frame of film was shot, and he wrote the main themes in advance, which worked out beautifully. They required an orchestra to really bring the score to life, which meant recording overseas due to budget constraints that eliminated the option of using local union musicians. It was worked out so that Jeff could remotely be involved with the recording sessions via an advanced kind of video chat, communicating directly with the Prague conductor as it was happening. It was a pretty ambitious undertaking but it all worked out, as you could hear throughout the season!

Awesome Music As Featured On NBC's Camp!

I was delighted to work with Liz Heldens (Mercy, Deception) on Camp this summer although it meant I didn't really get a summer vacation! But I did get to watch a lot of summer fun, which is almost as good as going away. Also, I was able to put a lot of my favorite bands into these ten episodes, man, we crammed a lot of music in here! I made a Camp Spotify playlist as best I could although quite a few of the songs are not on Spotify. So here is the official official list of what was in the first nine episodes of Camp. I'll update with the tenth episode next week.  Any questions, find me on twitter ...

We wrapped the season on a sobering note when we heard the sad news that the camp that Liz and her family attend each summer, Camp Berkeley Tuolomne, was wiped out in the Rim Fire that devastated a lot of California parkland including large parts of Yosemite. Thankfully nobody was hurt as there was time to evacuate but its upsetting news for all the families that made a lot of memories there.
