Wanted, the end

So that's that. We received final confirmation that wanted is not getting renewed for 2nd/3rd season. It is an odd feeling, the show getting canceled affects so many things. Now, I won't be going back to LA anytime soon and that makes me sad. I got to know some really great people out their. Scoring wanted with Steven Was one of the greatest creative experiences of my life. I learned so much that when I look back, it's hard to believe that I didn't know the things that I know now coming in.

So, on one level, yeah it's a bummer. However, I know now how it's done and I am supremely confident that we will do this again (and again) in tv, but also in movies. I think our greatest episode score was "Click Click Boom" That to me is when it all came together. sonically, it was rich and aggressive and musically, IT FUCKING RAWKED.

When I saw it on tv for the first time I flipped because it was the beginning of all the shows having really good mixes. I quite sure that the people on the mix stage were having problems figuring out how to mix to TNT's compression and limiting. I thought they did a fantastic job.

So, now what? Well, life doesn't stop just because a show gets cancelled. Thankfully, I have music that needs to be written all the time. I'm not out of work. And that, is something to be thankful for in this day and age.

I take with me the experience of a lifetime. Yet, this is far from being the end. There will be more shows, movies and whatever the hell else is waiting for us. Steven and I make a hell of a writing team. The stuff we did together was fucking killer.

I can't wait to do it again.

My new life

After a disgustingly long time I am actually "Gasp" writing an entry that is more than just a mere picture from my flickr account. Now that I have had some time to decompress from the recent events in my life, I feel like I can actually sit back and disseminate all these wacky things in ernest.

Basically, I relocated to Pittsburgh. Land of the... well, I'm not quite sure. I moved here to be closer to my son. Usually, I don't like getting into personal things in such a public forum. Some people like to spew every tiny detail about they're lives on these things. Things like documenting in excruciating detail what was worn to work every day for the last FIVE YEARS. Or a mind numbing dissertation about why Crest beats aquafresh hands down (it's the flavor crystals). Personally, that's just not me. But in this case I'm willing to make an exception. I mean, I know there are like thousands of people that just can't wait to read about my day to day goings on right? ;)

I digress.

I moved to pittsburgh to be with my son. It's so much more than that though. I left several different perfect situations at once. I moved out a recording studio that I called home for five years. The Tv show I was working on wrapped and I left that as well. Let me tell you something, I got Very comfortable in LA. I didn't want to leave. I mean, I wanted to leave but it was hard to say goodbye to such good people I had made friends with and become close to. I also left my girlfriend and family. I mean, I didn't leave them but you know what I mean. All of this happened at the same time and it was hard.

Fortunately, I was going towards something. Living close to my son (re: walking distance) is something that has cleared my mind. No longer do I have this ill placed angst that has hung like a cloud over my head for the last three years. Now, I don't have to call him every night because I see him everyday. I can't really explain in words what this has done for my sanity and well being. I miss everyone terribly but this is were I need to be without question.

Now Pittsburgh... cold as fuck. Also music wise, for a guy like me... not much here. Otherwise, it's a pretty nice place. The people are friendly, you don't get that hopeless baltimore vibe here. Nice skies and interesting architecture. But, it ain't LA. That's for sure. I'm not that concerned though. I live in a great place and things are moving ever forward career wise. I can just hop on a plane. It's no big deal.

So, that's it really. Things are good and getting better. I'm excited about the future. There are things on the horizon that look great and I am shocked that I'm basically getting everything I ever wanted.

So, that's it.
