Music for the Iraq War
I recently had a chance to compose music for a new PBS film called "The Last 600 Meters". Brilliantly produced by Michael Pack, the film tells the amazing story of the two biggest battles of the Iraq war - Fallujah and Najaf - through the eyes of those who fought them.
The challenge of composing this score was finding a way to combine the ethnic music of Iraq with all of the emotions of this film - sadness, tension, military struggle, honor, and even pride. The final product hopefully conveys these emotions in a way that respects those who were involved in these battles.
To listen to short samples of the score, click on the links below, or copy and paste the links into your browser.
Enjoy the samples - and have a wonderful holiday season.
