official US trailer for Max

Yesterday saw the release of the trailer for the upcoming film Max, which is Trevor's latest scoring project.  Watching this I can understand why Trevor wanted to be involved in this film because, beyond an opportunity to work with Boaz Yakin again, dogs have always had a very special place in his heart and his life.

Media Watch: new article on Music Radar

An ongoing series wherein I comment on Trevor's recent publicity.

Today on the Music Radar website is a new interview with Trevor, also featuring a slideshow with details of some of his best-known work and the stories behind it - from Boys Will Be Boys! to Jacaranda.

Hitting all the action-drama sweet spots.

I had to agree with 12 Monkeys co-producer/showrunner Terry Matalas when he live-tweeted this comment during the airing of episode seven, "The Keys."



I have a season pass for the show and so have been watching it faithfully, but this episode was the first since the pilot in which I felt both the script and the score were completely in sync and wonderfully composed.

Forget AWR, here's RSR!

(Rodgers-Schon-Rabin, that is.)

I feel rather sheepish that it took me over six months to come across this, but it's a really cool moment in time, I think.  There's not a lot of detail but from what I can tell, this was part of a radio station appearance in 1993 to promote Paul Rodgers' Muddy Waters tribute album or perhaps the Paul Rodgers and Friends concert to showcase the record.  The trio digs into Free's "All Right Now," "Hey Joe" by the Jimi Hendrix Experience and "Hoochie Coochie Man" as performed by the aforementioned legendary bluesman.

Although stylistically it's fairly easy to tell between the two players, here's the quick version: Neal is in the left channel and Trevor is in the right channel.  If nothing else, I was totally psyched to hear Trevor play a Hendrix tune.
