Happy to say that, if you were so inclined, you are now able to purchase the sheet music to my piece The Protagonist from Waterton Brass Music HERE. They put a fancy cover on it and everything.

Adele

And here’s an epic orchestral cue that I wrote after learning the chord changes to that Adele song that makes everyone cry.

“The Protagonist”

justindavidwright — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 16:46:32 +0000

Happy to say that The Protagonist has been released today on iTunes on da Capo Brass’ first album From The Beginning.

Give it a listen, I’d love to hear what you think. (And, ahem, you could even rate it and tell the rest of iTunes how great it is.)

From The Beginning can be found HERE. (The Protagonist is track 12-15, but you should listen to the whole thing.)
da Capo Brass can be found HERE.
And on this very site you can read the program notes for this piece HERE.

And a Happy New Year. How about some updates?

To everyone, I hope that 2011 was good to you and that 2012 will be even better. It’s been a strange and wonderful year for me personally, and I’m happy to say that many of the projects in which I’ve become involved are starting to get legs. But, in case you missed it, let’s review:

Robotic Raptor has had a good year of growth and we look forward to the completion of our newest and most ambitious project within the next few weeks. In the past year we completed a few of our own productions including 127 Minutes, Two, One, Two and Jumper before we started work on our most recent short. Between that we teamed up with the Radio Happy Hour team again for a web-series called Geocachers, as well as a few interesting commercial projects.
A 4-movement brass quintet of mine entitled The Protagonist, which was commissioned in 2010 by da Capo Brass, will be released on their album From The Beginning by Delos/Naxos on January 3rd on iTunes.
Scores of mine from recent short films such as The Dentist, Mommy Wars and some incidental music for inDmusic have been making the rounds and I’m happy to say are doing very well!
I’m happy to say that I’ve started a great opportunity working with the team at MassiveMusic in Union Square. With any luck, I’ll be useful within the year.

So here’s to 2012. Look for more from us all in the very near future. And shut up, Mayans!

“The Protagonist”

da Capo Brass sent me some pre-master recordings of “The Protagonist,” a 4-movement commission I finished up with them last year. Very excited to say that the recordings should be coming out in the very near future and sound great.

Look for it to be distributed by Naxos and the score published by Waterton Brass.

Recently finished up some music for Alex Mallis’ short documentary, “The Dentist”. It’ll be screened at the Independent Film Festival in Boston on 4/28 and 5/1. Check out the trailer below and hear a single chord for the duration.

If you’re around Amish Country, PA tomorrow, check out Robotic Raptor’s “Daylight” in the Lancaster Area Film Festival where our short is conveniently placed after the recent Oscar winner for Best Short. Hey, Festival Season!
