Recording "Vicious" for Interview With The Vampire Season One, Episode Five at Synchron Stage, Vienna. One of my favorite pieces of music I've written in a long time.

As a violinist who plays a lot of my own parts on my scores, I haven't always been able to trust other violinists to see the architecture of the performance the way I see it. But look at Synchron's Concertmaster Damir Orascanin just slaying those violin solos. An absolute beast. Watching him play gives me life. The whole orchestra killing it, Bernhard conducting the hell out of this piece, shaping what's on paper into something much more.

Shows like Vampire are rare: the amount of trust and positive encouragement coming my way throughout the process, the willingness of the studio to believe in its show runner's vision, allowing us to take some musical risks, some big swings...it's hard to imagine it getting better than Season One was. I feel incredibly lucky that someone gave me this canvas to paint.
