MOTION PICTURE SCORE PRODUCTION
Here, you'll find information about motion picture scores I'm currently working on, and artists I'm working with.
I am pleased to have worked on the score to the motion picture Golgotha by director Karla Davis. It's a semi silent fantasy epic / dramedy about an evil sorceress who recounts her evil ways to the last of her evil servants. The film is set in the distant past, and is going to feature mostly theremin music by three thereminists including my self, Randy George aka ooo6 on youtube, Kevin Kissinger. There will also be accompaniment provided by other musicians such as organist Benjamin Scott, Joel Patchel, as well as others to name a few.

Update: Golgotha premiered in Atlanta GA, on Friday, September 19th, 2008 at the Plaza Theater, which was the perfect venue for Golgotha. Prior to the film, I performed a theremin concert with pianist Joel Patchel. Most images reveal hidden images when moused over.

Just after the feature premiere of Golgotha, I set up the theremin once more, and many of the cast, and crew of Golgotha tried their hands at learning the theremin. One member stated, "you've just made my dream come true!".
It was a wonderful experience to see people experiencing the theremin for the first time, as well as listen to it in film, and even in concert.

I wish to thank the entire cast, and crew of Golgotha, as well as Karla Jean Davis for making my first film score project not just a reality, but an experience of a life time.
It has been an honor, and a privilege to work with such a talented crew.
Many thanks also go to Daniel, and Kathy Burns for hosting me, and providing logistical, as well as technical support thoughout the weekend of the premiere, and for providing the theremins, and amps for the concert.
