Check out the video for my new single with Terry Poison titled "Yamin Meshunim (Hazy Days)". Unfortunately, I was not there when they shot it. I think they were trying to build a spaceship or something like that. ;) I heard the song is climbing the local mainstream radio chart. I wrote & produced the single together with Terry Poison.

Congratulations to Ross Patterson and the Poolboy people. The movie is currently ranked 96 on the IMDB chart, which means some good buzz is generating around it. I scored the movie as well as music supervised it. It's funny as hell and not suitable for children. In fact, not for any age.
At the moment, I am working with Ross again on his second movie titled "FDR: American Badass!" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1811315/. I am the composer and music supervisor for it.

I have not released any music for a while as I have been working on music for various films, but as promised, here is our first release for Um Wow.
I started working with Um Wow about six months ago. I first heard their music when I was scoring the movie "The Chicago 8" and Ben and Steve were working with "The Vacation" - a rocking band that was signed to Rick Rubin's label.
We started writing and experimenting in the studio and before we knew it we had an EP and went...Um Wow! You can listen to our EP on our facebook page and download a free song, or purchase the EP from our online store.
I would love to hear your expectations and comments about the new work. I've also been working on many other interesting projects that I will soon be releasing, so stay in touch.
