I’m honored to contribute to this series joining Jeff Cardoni, Jojo Draven and the metal hand-washing madness of Mark Smythe in addition to 7 mini-gems by Helix co-founder Phil Popham. My piece for DJ decks and chamber ensemble premiered 5 years ago today on Oct. 27, 2020. (2/3)

Exactly how long is 20 sec to wash your hands? The fabulous musicians of the @helixcollective.bsky.social brilliantly answered this question in 2020 with a series of 20-second-long pieces to listen to while following the anti-covid health guidelines.

Happy #WonderWoman Day! (read more info about the music below👇) On Oct 21, 1941, Diana made her comic debut in All Star Comics no. 8, created by writer William Moulton Marston and artist Harry G. Peter. The music in this video is my EDM remix of #IsSheWithYou 🧵1/5

Memories of “Return of the Caped Crusaders” (an animated version of the classic ‘66 Batman TV show w/Adam West, Burt Ward & Julie Newmar providing voices!) in 2016. Lolita, Mike & I recorded the Neil Hefti-inspired score at the legendary Capitol Records with a killer band of LA’s finest! 🦇🎺

Michael, Lolita and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the wonderful Randall Larson, chatting about our careers, life, collaboration, mentoring, and supporting one another throughout the years as we collectively and individually pursue our passions. Link in replies

This was my first job on BTAS! Shirley asked me to orchestrate the full score from her composer sketches as my audition to later write music for the show. She composed the most perfect demented sitcom theme for Baby-Doll 🤩 & tragic emotional finale. Thanks @worldsfinest.bsky.social for the post 🙏

How does coffee fit into being a film composer? For Coffee Day 2025, I’m sharing the answer with my video for Spitfire Audio’s Composer Day. Cheers! ☕️🤩 #FilmComposer #Composer #Coffee #CoffeeDay

Throwback—Every two years, the FAA requires a review to demonstrate I can fly the plane safely…and return it to the ground in no more than one piece 😂 Happy biennial flight review to my pilot friends also due for their BFR! Photos from Sep 28, 2021

I recorded the piano in my home studio in Los Angeles and collaborated over the internet with the fabulous musicians of the FAMES orchestra, located in Skopje, Macedonia, and conducted by Maestro Oleg Kondratenko for the remainder of the orchestra parts. 3/5

Initially composed during the 2020 pandemic and recorded remotely to capture the isolation many felt during the lockdowns, this movement illustrates pondering the inevitable changes ahead and the uncertainty they may bring. 2/5

It’s the time of year when a noticeable chill sets in the air, the leaves change colors and the Earth prepares for Winter. I'd like to invite you to listen to "Autumn Ruminations," the first movement of my Four Episodes for Piano and Orchestra based on the Four Seasons. 🧵1/5

I recently shared the premiere anniversary of Batman: The Animated Series, I had forgotten the broadcast premiere of my first solo episode (and first solo credit in LA!) was around this time as well! Sep 13, 1995. Thanks James Harvey for sharing the anniversary 🙏 cc: @worldsfinest.bsky.social

Warner Bros. used to have retail stores, and among the WB swag they had framed animation cels. By chance I found a cel from “Catwalk,” the first episode of BTAS I scored completely on my own. 3/4

I had no idea in less than 2 years I would arrive here in LA to begin my career and even less idea whether or not the move would be permanent! It all has to start with a dream—don’t be afraid to chase that dream and make it an intention! 2/4

Happy 33rd Anniversary of the premiere of #BatmanTheAnimatedSeries! (Sep 5, 1992) I was still at the University of North Texas and it was essential watching in my dorm… the concept of having a career in Hollywood was a distant “some day/what if.” 🧵1/4

Big thanks to Randall Larson for including my score to #HowlAtTheDead in his most recent #Soundtrax article. It also has a great feature interview with Freddie Wiedmann about his epic #PrimitiveWar score—link below

The album is composed and produced by Kristopher, Michael and Lolita. Mastering by James Nelson at Digital Outland, and will be released on all major digital and streaming outlets by Dynamic Soundtrack Records.

Happy Batman Day! (Sep. 20) 4/4

As a bonus, the album also includes the score to “Return to the Batcave”, the 2014 animated short by legendary animator Darwyn Cooke (creator of the distinctive "Batman Beyond" Main Title sequence) for the 75th anniversary of Batman’s debut. 3/4
September 3, 2025 at 6:22 PM
Episodes Including: Sneak Peek, Eyewitness, April Moon, Final Cut, Sentries of the Last Cosmos (that won the Emmy® Award for best Music Direction & Composition), Eggbaby (winning the Emmy@ Award for Best Animated Series) and more. 2/4

The drums were recorded by Eric Sarafin & the guitars/basses were recorded by Mako Sujishi. During the sessions, I had the pleasure of Oscar-winning composer Mychael Danna stopping by while he was visiting a film mix at one of the stages next door. Awesome photos by Dana Ross 7/7

While this was a solo composing credit, it was still very much a team effort w/my DMP colleagues Michael & Lolita contributing orchestrations along with my lead orchestrator Larry Rench. The score was recorded & mixed by Bobby Fernandez and my music editor was Diane Griffen 6/7
August 29, 2025 at 8:41 PM
Expanding the sound we used on the Emmy-winning TV series, the score added a full orchestra of top LA studio musicians recorded at the WB Eastwood Scoring Stage to the metal shredding talents of Gabriel Moses on guitar, Jon Button on bass and John “JR" Robinson on drums. 5/7
