So anyway, I got an awesome phone call this afternoon whilst purchasing my tickets for 10,000B.C. (don't knock it - it's actually quite entertaining...if you leave your brain on a shelf). Anyway, my guy Rich calls and says the "indie-gothic-indian-thriller-western" producers liked my demo CD and are going to give me a clip to score.
"And?...What's that mean Mike?", you're asking. Well, it means if I can come up with something they like for whatever the hell it is they're sending me, then I'll get to...(wait for it)......SCORE MY FIRST FEATURE-LENGTH FILM (for the full effect, imagine two blonde, SO-CAL Valley Girls getting excited over a new pair of shoes)!!!
yea!
Keep in mind, this is a period movie...with indians...that they've temp-tracked with The Others and Phil Glass' Dracula. Frankly, I'm dumbfounded. Anyway, just thought I'd share. By the way, Brad...when I do get whatever it is I'm getting, you wanna come over and help me spot it? Seriously, I want an extra set of eyes on this thing to make goddamned sure I get it just right...fucking this up might just push me over that narrow edge my sanity's teetering on.
I'm just praying to God and dear, sweet Bebe Jezuth that they left the temp score off the clip!

Well, don't look at me, pal. I just said you were a fair pilot. I didn't know they were looking for somebody to lead this crazy attack.
Of course I'm in.
Someone must've told about my little maneuver at the Battle of Tanaab!
BTW, lose the pic of the Bard already! It's not that I mind looking at Timmay, I just hate seeing that "Do you wish to view the unsecure items" thingy every fucking time I load a comment page!
Happy now?

I'm kind of disappointed on your behalf that you don't get to do the Morricone Spaghetti Western sound, or even the Copland/Bernstein Americana sound.
Or maybe you wouldn't want to do that anyway. It's probably better that you can be your own voice here... ahem... assuming they let you. It sounds to me like they might be the types who become married to their temp tracks.
Yeah, I'm really hoping it's the thinner, low-winds and dark tones that they like rather than the fluffy and whimsical Impressionistic stuff - not that I can't write fluffy Impressionism, but it wouldn't be nearly as interesting as creepy winds with bangs, bells and whistles.
God knows you can write fluffy!
You can fluff my hairy, white ass!
