Discussion with Screen Rant about collaborating with the Choctaw Nation

I spoke with Screen Rant re: collaborations with the Choctaw Nation & the inclusion of a bespoke chant in Marvel’s #Echo called “Ohoyo Na Moma Ikhaiyana (She Who Remembers All)” which appears within my score but also as a stand alone piece on the soundtrack.

ECHO score soundtrack release day!


My complete score soundtrack from the Marvel series “Echo” is now available to stream on all of your favorite platforms!  Thank you to all the wonderful people at the Disney Music Group and Marvel Studios who made it possible, not to mention the incredible musicians, orchestras, and choirs that performed it — the magical artists from the Choctaw Nation that I got to collaborate with – and a few people worthy of extra special love — Anele Onyekwere at Marvel, our music supervisors Dave Jordan and Justine Von Winterfeldt, score mixer Scott Smith, and my longtime cohorts James Saez for the recording work and guitar magic and music editor Roger Kosteck, who worked his tail off on this project.  And Casey Di Iorio at Valve Studios in Dallas, Texas!  And many more —   Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Scoring Echo

Very excited to announce my next creative project- my first collaboration with Marvel Studios on the upcoming series Echo.

The first Marvel series under the new Marvel Spotlight banner and the first to have a TV-MA rating, all 5 episodes will be released simultaneously on Disney+ and Hulu on January 10th.

Reddit AMA

Today at noon West Coast/3pm East Coast I will be doing a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything). Join me to talk about my work on Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, or any of my other projects… or anything at all, really. You can post your questions now!

Final episode

Tonight marks the incredible final episode of Better Call Saul and the end of an unbelievable 15+ year creative era for me as a composer working on all of the projects related to the Breaking Bad universe. 125 episodes and a feature film. Can’t really wrap my head around it, and not sure I ever will, but I’m so proud of all of it and of everyone involved. Not to mention forever indebted to Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, who wrote and directed tonight’s finale, for having me along. Savor every last frame tonight… you know I will be.

@Forbes

I really enjoyed this conversation I had with @Forbes talking @BetterCallSaul, @BreakingBad and much more…  in fact we covered pretty much everything other than my business acumen, which was definitely wise on their part.

Better Call Saul news!

Today I am pleased to announce the release of a 2nd volume of my original score from Better Call Saul, which covers seasons 3-5. Available immediately at all of your favorite streaming services. Every track was completely rebuilt from the ground up – remixed and mastered specifically for this release. It includes all of the most requested tracks over the past few years plus a few enticing bits that didn’t make the final cut but I thought deserved to see the light of day. Thanks to Peter, Vince, Melissa, Diane, and our whole amazing Better Call Saul crew and of course all of our friends at SONY and AMC. Hope that you enjoy listening as much as we did working on them. Oh, and yes, the hope is for a 3rd and final release later this summer alongside the series finale.
