Next, a great pickup from Eric who emails me…
Hi Kevin!
Betsy and I saw “Hugo” on Friday and I was stunned – during the Meliès film back story montage your piece plays and you are credited in the end titles.
Did you know? I didn’t see anything about it on your site.
Yes, I did know that. But I haven’t seen it, so I wasn’t sure how promenant the music was.
It must have been at least clear enough for someone to identify.

I do have six more pieces of music to post soon – not sure when I’ll get to it.
Happy December Everyone!

One of my favorite scores has just been reposted to Youtube in its entirety.
“Luke’s Kitchen” – now in high-def awesome.
Yes, it is a documentary.

Hit the Streets
Hit the Streets v2
You know that kind of music that fills in the bits where you follow someone around?
Like if they’re running out onto the street to buy watermelons…
or if they’re collecting buttons for a… shirt…
or if they’re diffusing a bomb…
You get the idea. Little dialog, heavy on action – but not super ninja action… just like… running errands action.
YouTube Update!
I spoke to a YouTube rep again today to get the status report.
The progress is two-fold. First off – all of the companies that have been claiming my works as theirs were informed that they must actually review the claims if the claim is contested.
That means – you may still receive a notice from YouTube, and you will need to respond with the piece being “misidentified”. They will actually review them now (as opposed to just denying the contest) and release the videos ASAP.
The second part is a little more technical. The content matches are done by computer, and some things have been matching when they should now. YouTube is going to tighten the tolerances on the matches so that fewer pieces get misidentified in the first place.
That being said – if you contest a claim and it is rejected, you still need to email me, as it may be a new problem.
YouTube has been doing a great job of contacting the publishers and telling what is going on – and why they need to change their behavior on things like this. The technical changes might take a week or two to implement – so there may still be a straggling improper match out there.
And that’s the news!
The Last Stand of the Mechanolith

These are really really epic when played loud. Like really epic. They out-epic the epic scores to many epic films.
