Also, Lucy's song, "When We Were Young" is the international main title for NBC's new hit dramedy, "Parenthood." (in the US, it's Bob Dylan's "Forever Young," but you can catch Lucy's song in Parenthood episodes on Hulu). The song was produced by David.

MAY 07

FEBRUARY 10

35th LA Composer Salon February 21 at Tuttomedia- David is a featured Composer and will be presenting his work and performing a song he produced for the upcoming "Shrek Forever After". Here's a note from the program- in David's words:

"I always knew I wanted to be a musician…or a magician. By 14, my magic career had faded, and I was left with music. I didn’t know I wanted to be a composer, but I was always interested in film and the visual arts—I come from a family of visual artists.

I started out on guitar, and later switched to bass (at the insistence of the other two guitarists in my band). I soon discovered the double bass and enrolled in Berklee, where I was fortunate to study under Bill Curtis and Charlie Banocos, and to play bass in Gary Burton’s mallet ensemble.

After school, I allowed the gigs to take me from one style of music to another. I played in jazz ensembles, symphony orchestras, rock and R&B bands, and the occasional country outfit. Although I tended to view the variety as an impediment to my playing career, it turned out to be an asset when I became a composer.

My first “real” composing job, Northern Exposure, was a trial by fire. Starting with a completely blank musical slate each week was terrifying, but it gave me the opportunity to compose a wide variety of music while developing a personal sound.

Since then, I have attempted (with varying degrees of success) to approach all my scoring opportunities in a similar way—starting with a blank slate, using a beginner’s mind. I’ve been fortunate to work with (mostly) brilliant producers and directors, who really understand the value of music."
