The Season 2 soundtrack for @percyseries.bsky.social is OUT NOW. Reimagining the main title was intimidating, but the goal was simple: deeper sound, higher stakes. Enjoy! 🐻♥️

There was only one singer I hoped to work with to craft a satisfying conclusion to this musical arc. I was honored to collaborate with the legendary Annie Lennox to create one last “Skye Boat Song” for #Outlander ’s final season. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🎶 ❤️ www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Bear McCreary 🐻🎶 @bearmccreary I am horrified and saddened at the tragic loss of one cinema’s greatest directors. I can’t even begin to list the films this guy made that impacted me throughout my life. We all know them. A legend. A true genius. Rest in peace, Rob Reiner 💔

Counting down the most surprising sounds in my music. Which is your favorite?

So excited to finally debut Outlander in Concert! Who’s gonna join us in Scotland next May? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🎵 ❤️ Thanks to @thr.com for unveiling our new concept!

So excited for this! See you in Edinburgh in May!

Thanks to @bdisgustingpod.bsky.social for the feature! Do you think this new #Deathstalker has enough blood and guts? 😂

The #Deathstalker soundtrack and music video are finally here! I had a blast collaborating with Slash, Brendan McCreary, Gene Hoglan, Omer Ben-Zvi, and Pete Griffin to reimagine Chuck Cirino's timeless theme for the 80’s cult classic Deathstalker II (Steven Kostanski) ...

Thrilled for my dear friend David Henry Hwang. So happy for you and honored to be working with you on #ParticleFever

NEW TOUR BLOG: My travels across North America begin! I added three new songs to the set, bought a taiko drum, and pranked my guitar tech Jai with a new hurdy gurdy. This was a short run for a big continent. What cities in North America should we hit up next time?

When I signed on to #ChildsPlay in 2019, I told them I wanted to use a toy orchestra. I don’t think they took me seriously at first, but the rest is history. Anyone else ready for spooky season?

Had a blast last night seeing @coheedandcambria.bsky.social at The Greek, with my buddy Miles Dean. Congrats to my pals Claudio P. Sanchez, Travis Stever, Zachary Cooper & Josh Eppard. You guys took us on an emotional sci-fi journey! Thank you for the invite.

When #GodofWar, #TheSingularity, and #Eivør collide! Working together on God of War was one of those rare experiences that stays with you forever. I’m grateful we could join forces again on The Singularity where her voice naturally brought this track to life. Maybe we should do more? 👀

I had fun playing hurdy gurdy for my dear friends Ira Ingber and Steve Bartek on the debut LP of their new band BarIng All. I’ve been jamming with these gentlemen for more than 20 years, on countless scores and concerts. (Continued in thread)

Spent a lovely evening in Brooklyn recently with one of my favorite composers, the one and only @jgthirlwell.bsky.social, mastermind behind the score to #TheVentureBrothers and so much more.

When a Boston fan brought a hurdy gurdy to my show, I naively proclaimed it would be the weirdest thing somebody brings to my show on this run. Well, @lateefmartin was like “Hold My Beer.” He brought a custom instrument he designed and built called a BIKE HARP! I can’t wait to get one in my studio!
