Not only did I have to put the music together, I had to help with all the logistics and contracts for the players. it was great to be able to bring together my friends at Sony and the AFM for the special occasion. The most fun though was conducting the 60 piece orchestra. Conducting the orchestra …

Finally it has been announced by Dreamworks and Netflix: Trollhunters, from Guillermo Del Toro. I have been hard at work scoring this for several months now. We don't have a release date yet, being a Netfilx project means we have to finish a whole season before it can drop. This is a really exciting project.

I just realized it has been a long time since I updated anything here. I have good reasons though! Where to start... Firstly, I just realized it has been 10 years since my first session in LA as a conductor and orchestrator. It was a TV show called Invasion. It was a great way to start as I had 22 chances to get it less wrong. I met some amazing musicians and over the years have learnt a lot from them. But how time flies!…
