Working with
@alyshaharan has been one of the great rewards of my career. As with every project I’ve had the pleasure of working on with her, Stone Garden was a labor of love.
For fear of being too long-winded, we produced a making-of-the-score BTS (including sone insights into shooting the film on Disney’s volume stage). I’ll just add that I’m really proud of this score, and immensely grateful to all of the friends and collaborators who were involved. This is the kind of score I dreamed of having the opportunity, the ability even, to write when I was a freshman at Berklee, still mystified by orchestral writing, and barely able to read a grand staff.
So thank you: Alysha,
@jackierr @lostlightfilms , my incredible score mixer, who brought the score to life,
@zachmcnees ,
@adammilosmalley for not only introducing me to Alysha, but for being a dear friend and advocate,
@gregnicolett.music for the composerly camaraderie,
@ginalucianiflute for your playing on the end credits (listen to track 5 to fully experience Gina’s brilliance),
@prixmmusicprep for delivering impeccable scores bright and early, all the folks at ILM, the cast and crew (Laurel, Wilder, Karyn, Jon, Oana),
@mikeschwarcz for capturing the BTS footage,
@thealanchung and
@jacksonhl for the video overlays, and of course my wife,
@abimsommers , ever my champion, who weighed in on every half-finished demo, and my teachers, who showed me endless patience and grace. Well, I guess I was long-winded after all. Anyway, please watch the BTS and stream the OST, available on all platforms!
