@GamesRadar and I recently talked about my score to EL CAMINO: A BREAKING BAD MOVIE, how director and BB creator Vince Gilligan always gives me room to experiment, and I weigh in on the inevitable (but of course pointless) @BreakingBad vs. @BetterCallSaul debate.
I had a good time chatting with David Phillips of Awards Daily recently about scoring ‘El Camino‘ and how it fits into the ‘Breaking Bad’ universe… including my complex emotions about it all presumably coming to its conclusion next year. Check it out here:

Tonight is the debut of a great new series called Hightown that I had the pleasure of scoring. Monica Raymund and James Badge Dale star — check it out starting tonight on STARZ — and this review from the NYTimes:

I recently spoke with Headliner about the differences between scoring film vs. TV, my thoughts on the musical connections between ‘Breaking Bad’, ‘Better Call Saul’, and El Camino, and much more here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2CN0DtpgAcsEqwwtzDAcVQ
Now that #ElCamino has been released, the press embargo is over & I can start sharing some interviews I’ve done recently for those who are interested. SPOILERS, of course, if you have yet to see the film.
I spoke with Jennifer Wood for @vulture

To celebrate tonight’s sumptuously insane series finale of Preacher we’ve put out a release of some of my favorite score from the series spanning all 4 seasons. It is available NOW to stream or buy on most digital platforms. It has been a tremendous honor to work on this show — there is simply nothing else like it… https://smarturl.it/Preacher_Sdtk
El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie is coming this October…. and in addition to being available on Netflix it will also be in select theaters around the US for a very brief run. I just got this link and downtown Los Angeles is pretty much already sold out. But if you are interested to see it in a theater – and I recommend it if you can — try this link ASAP!
I’m told that tonight’s new episode of Better Call Saul marks the 100th episode of the Breaking Bad/ Better Call Saul universe, which feels like a good moment to make my final special announcement related to our 10th anniversary celebrations that have been going on all year.
I’m pleased to announce that with lots of help and dedication from the folks at Sony (looking at you Tony Scudellari) and Madison Gate Records we are releasing a truly comprehensive collection of my score from Breaking Bad. Yes, everything ever released. Includes all the early stuff from the original song and score CD, everything from volumes 1 and 2, plus all the extras that came in the “greatest hits” compilation from Comic Con this year. For those that always ask, no, there is nothing left in the vault. And I don’t imagine there will ever be anything more to come from the original series.
This release is a vinyl only, limited edition, 4 disc set with all of my notes from the previous releases wrapped up in some very clever comic-book inspired packaging…and of course, on blue vinyl. It will be available in a few days, but can be pre-ordered right now:
For those that have been waiting and asking me — this is the one – don’t miss out. Thanks to everyone who helped it all come together… and a final happy 10th anniversary to Breaking Bad!
And don’t miss the final episodes of Better Call Saul season 4, which are absolutely magnificent.
