Dear loyal blog readers & Human Target fans,
For the past few months, I’ve received numerous tweets, posts, emails, handshakes and hugs from fans, family and friends congratulating me on completing my score for Human Target’s first season and on my Emmy nomination for Outstanding Main Title Theme. The enthusiasm from all of you suggests my music resonated as I hoped it would, perhaps having stirred up memories of scores of the past from which I drew influence. Tipping my proverbial hat to Elmer Bernstein, Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams and Alan Silvestri, the composers I grew up listening to, I actually felt like a kid again writing this music. And yet, while I explored this musical territory with a child-like sense of awe and wonder, my work resulted in the most consistently sophisticated, ambitious and enjoyable music I’ve ever written. To record these scores once a week, with a full orchestra of the best musicians in the world, elevated the experience even further.
I had looked forward to expanding the musical universe of Human Target, further developing the character themes, and introducing new ones. However, the series is now under new creative leadership, and as a result I have not been asked to return. I am as disappointed as you that we will never hear any further variations of my Christopher Chance Theme or my Winston Theme, and I won’t have the opportunity to finally write that Guerrero Theme I’d promised you.
We are likely to hear a very different musical approach to Human Target season 2, but I hope and trust the series will remain a fun adventure. I’m tuning in as a fan with the rest of you, because I want to continue watching these delightful characters for years to come. They are portrayed by some of the best actors working in any medium and the series has remarkable potential for a long run.
