Classical Music? Really?

One of the things that I love about my job as a composer is that with every project, I’m dropped into a completely different world. I get a chance to learn something new, and often get to try something different musically.

Recently, I was hired by GTOO Media to compose the theme for the new film at the Franklin Science Institute in Philadelphia. Not only did I learn a lot about Ben Franklin, but I also got a chance to compose some light classical sounding music for the project. I don’t often get a chance to write this kind of music, so it was really enjoyable to compose in this style.
