Hi, Tony. Believe it or not, I don't have a demo disk, a promo package or even a photo, and I'm in the communications business. The recording I do is all film score music for the films my company produces. Most are edited to a length of 15-19 minutes. I sent Tony Rome a sample of a rough a while back, and sent Uncle Dave a piece just before his wedding last year.

90 plus percent is proprietary material owned by the client. I do have a piece I'm just finishing which I'll be retaining the rights to, because the client dosn't mind. Comparing these compositions to music written for public performance is strange, considering there's generally a big entro and end where titling and credits roll, and the body consists of fairly simple melodic lead lines
which become the music bed for the voiceover.

If you'd like, I could send you this rough to
see what you think. While the music is important, as the writer, camera operator, producer, musician and editor, satisfaction comes from the whole project, and the music is about 15% of the work.

Still, I think the ability to create original scores gives us an advantage in the film production business and in other areas of our work (musical themes for conventions, jingles for manufacturers and retailers,etc.).

I'll email you to get your address if you'd like.

Thanks for the interest.
