8. Film scores have always fascinated me

As a musician and a writer, I've worked on a number of films. It's really fun to collaborate with terrifically talented people.

There are some recordings I have of scores that were recorded but then rejected by either the director, the producer or the studio. These include original scores for "2001: A Space Odyssey," "Apocalypse Now" and "The Green Hornet." It's kind of fun to cue up the music track and the film scene and play them together to see what might have been. Usually, the music choice was the right one.

That's a great score PJMcK Mar 2021 #1
