Jedi Drummer @ Star Wars Celebration VI

Just over 2 years ago, I created a video that combined two of my favorite passions - Star Wars and heavy metal drumming.  One of the first places I went to spread the word about the Jedi Drummer project was the Star Wars Celebration V convention in Orlando.  This year, I'm headed back to Florida once again to join my fellow Jedi Knights and Sith Lords for Star Wars Celebration VI, which will definitely be the most fun a Star Wars fan can have without actually being in one of the movies.

Let me know if you're going as well. May the Force be with you!

Quantum Theory Party this Saturday (6/16/12) in LA!

My next composing project is for a movie called Quantum Theory.  It's about two scientists that create a reality-bending technology that gets stolen by a defense contractor - then they have to steal it back! It's a smart, funny, fast-paced sci-fi movie with a heist movie flavor.

8 Sided Films is hosting a party for this movie at 15147 Hamlin St. in Van Nuys this Saturday, June 16th. The party starts at 8 pm and goes til whenever.  The cast and crew will be there along with food, booze, music and other festive activities and all you need is $1 or more to join in the fun.  No cash?  It's cool. Bring your credit card and put $1 or more on that.


There's a detailed explanation of exactly what you're in store for here and on facebook, but the most important thing is that I will be there! :)

Check out the trailer below and listen for the music.  It's mine.  See you Saturday!
