I received a phone call a couple of years ago from an old high school buddy who I had not spoken too in a very long time. Joe Anderson contacted me and asked if I would be interested in composing the score to his latest project titled “Albino Farm.” We meet up and he started to give me the rundown on the incredible story line. I have been a fan of horror movies for many years and this was going to turn into a VERY enjoyable experience. I take pride in my work and are always honored to be offered these type of golden opportunities. This film was going to be fun…!
My crazy schedule with recording and touring with my band of 30 years Queensryche, was something I had work around…After Joe and team had started production, I was sent rough edit reels so that I could start to compile sections of the score. I was able to put together a nice traveling recording setup based around a Mac laptop and all the desired extra gear. In late 2007 I spent the entire 6 week tour we (QR) did with Heaven and Hell composing music in my hotel rooms and dressing rooms for Albino Farm. It caused me to really be focused and centered.
I then had Joe and Sean visit me at my recording studio to discuss exact music scene placement and emotion…This is what I live for—The interaction of people working together to musically define a given scene for a film.
After everything was said and done, we flew to LA and got together to do the final music mix layback…Everything worked fantastic…!!
My experience on composing for this film has been amazing…! I am thankful for being offered the opportunity and for Joe to have believed in my talents to help them achieve their goals for this incredible film…
I look forward to the future…!

Scott,can’t wait to hear you’re work..I won one of your cymbals years ago in a Queensryche auction..there’s hardly a day go by where I don’t lick it! Queensryche & especially YOU were GREAT at the HOB in Vegas. I wanted to climb the walls when your drum stick got caught in the spot light wires..
