The music from “Us” instantly became an icon of musical terror and the soundtrack for countless internet memes.
The Boulder Symphony is turning up the creepy meter, as we bring this anxiety-inducing music to life on Sunday, February 1st. Tickets on sale now through the link in our bio.
Christmas came early for me this year with the release of “Unbound,” an overture I wrote in honor of #olympian #jesseowens — brilliantly performed by the #losangelesfilmorchestra conducted by none other than @leonardslatkin ! Did you know his parents were LA studio musicians? True facts.
Inspired by a #bobpeak painting (seen above) for a series of postage stamps for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. The painting captures the power and grace of Owens in mid-flight. I hope this music does too.
A dozen composers were asked by impresario #roberttownson to write pieces based on Peak’s artwork. The result is “Pictures at an Exhibition: the Paintings of Bob Peak“ and the entire collection is due on @warner_classics in the spring. But “Unbound” is out now! Available for orchestral rental at @subitomusiccorp
