Phil Casabon for “ORNADA” by Armada Skis. This shot lived on my desktop since the afternoon I filmed it with Sean Logan, the mvp of production. Ben Van on the track. Full length in bio. Shouts to everyone who made the flick possible… Corey Stanton, Hans Smith, Tom Suesskoch, many many more. Love to Robin Powel and Benner-Campbell fam.

Last week we brought the ORNADA experience to NYC—the hometown of our live-score band. Experiencing this film with The ORNADA 8 is unlike anything you’ve ever felt in a ski movie. Their soundtrack doesn’t just accompany the skiing; it elevates it. “Sensory overload” is what we keep hearing—top-tier skiing layered with a live, eight-piece orchestra of world-class musicians. The connection between the music and the riding hits differently when it’s being created in real time, tailored to the energy of each athlete. And having Dillon Cooper on the mic—introducing the film, the athletes, the band, and even stepping on stage to perform his segment live—turned the whole night into something historic. No ski movie has ever been presented like this. We’re proud to share it with the world. 📷 - @stosdada

This post has been a long time coming. But I’ve been on the road and after last nights episode, it feels fitting to finally share. I got to lend my hand to @keegandewitt for his score of “The Chair Company.” Anyone who knows me is well aware I can barely get through a sentence without quoting @tsrobinson23 in some way or another. So this was a dream gig. Keegan’s score is absolutely wild. His approach to this music was so creative and different that it was hard to keep up. But I like to think I helped create a small amount of the magic that came out. I heard about this show a couple years ago and was patiently waiting for it to come out. Never in a million years did I even think I’d get to be a fly on the wall for this. So I have about a million thanks to @keegandewitt for making a dream come true. I wrote a small amount of music, contributed sound design elements, and did some other fun stuff behind the scenes. Keegan did not compromise a single sound for the months of work it took to get this out the door. Thank you to @tsrobinson23 and @zkanin for creating something so wild and hilarious, to the team at @hbo for working with us. @stacy.mov and #andrewfitzgerald on the edit. @kenaghbabcock and #vicneumark for keeping everyone cool and being an all around badasses. The list goes on and on. This was amazing to be a part of and I am eternally grateful and still pinching myself.

HEYO! New doc “Unknown Number,” from the incredible @skyeborgman is out now. Your favorite hunk and maestro @ihultquist had me back to tackle some tunes on this bad boy. And get a load of this, the soundtrack is out on all streaming platforms now. Thanks to @netflix for having us all, give it a watch and get in on this twisted tale. Truly a wild story.

Season 2 is here folks. @amcthewalkingdead Dead City goes harder than ever this season. @ihultquist elevated the story to unreal heights with his score and unmatched sound design. Getting to watch him work his magic is something I’ll never forget. We’ve been working together for almost 4 years, and I can confidently say he didn’t pull any punches on this one. Tune in to @amc_tv @amcplus and you’ll hear it. Grateful to play a small role in bringing it to life. So congrats @ihultquist - as well as the greatest mixer in Hollywood (fight me) @mixandtrack - music editor unrealo and the man that keeps everyone laughing through the stress @zakmillman

This one is a wild ride folks. “Glitter & Greed: The Lisa Frank Story,” is now streaming on @primevideo - @ihultquist brought me along once again because he’s Batman and I’m…not quite Robin…not quite Alfred, but like Batman’s helper. Anyway this score was a whole boatload of fun to help write. We have all sorts of weird instruments and rhythms happening, @daisycoole lays down the saxophone on the main titles which is pretty much the coolest thing ever. Tune in, check it out, and remember that rainbows aren’t always what they seem. Much love to director @ariannalapenne and @maxine.productions

@maxine.productions has done it again. This time with “Girls Gone Wild: The Untold Story.” As a 10 year old, I thought these were just awesome late night boobie commercials, and wow, I was mistaken. This series exposes the massively dark underbelly of Joe Francis’s evil empire. Journalist and Co-Exec Producer Scaachi Koul visited Joe’s own home in Mexico and recorded a 9 hour interview with him. Based on his history with women, this is massively brave, and allowed this story to really blossom. @ihultquist put his heart into the music and invited me onboard to do the same. The series is now streaming on @peacock

Well hot dog! Looks like a fresh new docuseries about UFO’s, aliens, the supernatural, and the UNKNOWN just dropped. Word on the street is the original score by @ihultquist - along with some razzle dazzle by your good pal…me, is a heavy hitter. Synths are bangin, the orchestra is thumpin, and the beats are bumpin. @mixandtrack on the titles mix, obviously blew it out of the galaxy. Anyway, check out “Beyond: UFO’s and the Unknown.” Available to stream on @mgmplus - executive produced by everyone’s hero @jjabramsofficial @bad_robot

The Decameron is now streaming. Big time shout out to one of the greatest composers on earth, @ruthbarrettmusic for having me play real bones and some other deadly percussion. I hope ya tune in folks, should be a wild ride. Also check out the soundtrack record wherever you stream music, Ruth went absolutely wild on this score and I feel incredibly lucky that I was able to contribute in a very small way.
