I don't think I really know just how cool Satan really was when I was in Junior High School. Now, thanks to Marilyn Manson, it's no longer a secret.
I grew up outside of DC, New York state, and Connecticut.
But that's something that I like about scoring film: it makes me reach out of the parameters of my self, it requires me to do things musically that I wouldn't normally do left to my own devices.
I guess professionally it began when Hal Hartley used some music of mine in his film The Unbelievable Truth.
Then I took 8 years of French Horn, first jazz, and then classical.
If the finest hour is now, then I'll always be in it.
