Music for the Silver Screen
I always enjoy a good story and the rich history and diverse art form of motion pictures especially intrigues me. Whether an epic tale or a witty comedy, art film or blockbuster, each offers a distinctive view on life and in many ways inspires my artistic vision and mosaicist style. As a composer, I thrive on the challenge of discovering new worlds and narrating memorable, entertaining stories in musical underscore.
Indeed, since so much of my creative work explores the magical world of film music, I have decided to release a series of original themes and scores composed over the past few years. Certain tracks have appeared in films while others are sketches that I have recently orchestrated or re-mixed. Beginning with the “Zenith” overture, I will post a single on the Vertical Leap page and continue every other week or so until the progression culminates in a full album titled “The Winter Palace.”
My hope is that these selections resonate with listeners who take pleasure in the adventure and romance of film music as well as the balance and contrast between sublime melody and vivid imagination. I look forward to sharing this euphonious tale with you and welcome your comments!

There’s a time for everything
But will we be ready when the right time comes? Patience, fortitude and preparation lay a good foundation. A Buddhist saying frames it this way:
“The student asked the master how he could hasten enlightenment. The Master replied that one could hasten enlightenment no more than one could hasten the sunrise. Why then, asked the student, do we do all this sitting and discipline? We do it, was the reply, so that when the sun rises we are awake.“
Elevate and Celebrate!!! -G
