Playing the 7 string. In a tie.

I don’t make beats often but when I do, I guess I like to add a ton of layers. Made for an indie film chase scene where the music was suppose to really bump up the energy. He’s a breakdown of all the layers. #composer #filmmusic

REVISED composer breakdown. Made it...well, better and quicker than the original. It was like 21 minutes, now it's 13. Figured that was the sweet spot to get to the point. Hoping to do more, NEW ones next year. #composer #youtubebreakdowns www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtRZ...

All the instruments I play live with Cynthia Wang!

Playing electric upright, which is both weird and cool looking at the same time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZM4...

Took some advice from thejulescreative (on Threads) and re-edited a YouTube video on scoring a scene from the movie "Slapface" - cutdown from 21m to 14 - reconfigured the screen recordings to be more visually engaging - added b-roll to better explaining the instrument I used - updated the thumbnail

I don't often play a 4-string, but when I do, it's probably for something punk/rock. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVqj...

Actually planning out my social media posts for like, the next full year. Watch out!

Is there any actor more absurd than Christopher Meloni? (doing a rewatch of all the “Wet Hot American Summers”)

Replaced the hard drive in an external casing and I'm pretty proud of myself. The Thunderbolt ports stopped working randomly, but now I'm all good in a new enclosure.

my cat NEEDS to sleep on my computer, but kept on stepping on the connectors, so I built…

We should replace "Myers-Briggs" and the like with "What is your favorite and least favorite I Think You Should Leave " sketch.

My article from @nofilmschool.bsky.social with such an awesome headline (thank you!). I really went all-in on this score for “The Demon Detective” and y’all need to hear - and READ about - it. nofilmschool.com/composer-bar...

“How a Composer Turned iPhone Voice Recordings Into the Creepiest Horror Score of the Year.” Maybe one of my favorite headlines I’ve ever had written about my work. Read about my music to “The Demon Detective”. nofilmschool.com/composer-bar...

Soundtrack available NOW. open.spotify.com/album/3Il9Fa... music.apple.com/us/album/the... Movie Title: "The Demon Detective" Music Description: "Wintry Gothicness" Enjoyed By: you

I updated my video on how I make my film scores. And it's here and it's under 3 minutes! NEW projects. NEW footage. #composer

When making a video, remember to sit stationary for 1 sec to grab a still. When making a video, remember to sit stationary for 1 sec to grab a still. This reminder brought to you by me going through every single frame of a video to find one of me just smiling normally. This is not one of those:

Sorry I kept this project from you, Bluesky. In the 4th grade, I wrote a story. And decades later I found a copy of it, and had to turn into a metal song.

Finally FINALLY got that soundtrack ready for release. After… - now years of work - listening to it a dozen times - when I say “dozen” I mean “after I marked the tracks ‘final’ after listening to them a thousand times and then STILL made changes” “The Demon Detective” soundtrack Release date 9/23.

Part of this is a joke, only because when you think you’re almost finished, you still have 12 more things you think you wanna change.

Almost done with this soundtrack, only 12 more notes to address!

It’s amazing what a small EQ change can do for a mix. I dipped 2dB at 680Hz with a fairly wide Q on a “boxy” sounding mix and it made all the difference.

New music (and some guitar faces) coming SOON.

So it can be more baby friendly, the lyrics are now “Wu-Tang Clan is a group to have fun with.” Temporarily, of course.

You know you’re coming close to finishing a mix when you’re making 1 dB adjustments.

This might just be my opus. My 2 1/2-minute opus.

When mastering music, sometimes you need to find the worst speaker you have and listen to your music on that.

Is Barry gonna listen to Zach Braff and Donald Faison’s 315+ episode podcast about “Scrubs”? …probably. also, has this turned into Barry’s Scrubs account??

Another year at @danceswithfilms.bsky.social This time with a fantastic documentary.

Barry you write film scores, you must watch a lot of movies. me: I’m rewatching Scrubs for the 5th time…

Arrested Development and BASS.

Re-watching one of my favorite shows "Scrubs" for the nth time. But wow. SO MUCH sexual harassment.

sometimes you just don’t need a pick.

Meet me. Again! For those who don’t know me, film music is my passion and I love talking about it. (and of course I love DOING it as well) This article reveals my new challenge: composing in a time of raising a newborn. boldjourney.com/meet-barry-j...

I’ve been mixing for years and years and think today was the first time I’ve ever successfully changed the phase of a track to make it sound better. I guess I never had a real opportunity to do it? It was the mic on the snare bottom. The snare just wasn’t sounding right til I switched the phase.

My iPhone is very insistent that I cast everything I ever look at onto my Apple TV. I do not know how to make it stop.

Hey everybody, I want to do a thread of stories about the impact #tariffs are having on your small business or a friend's small business. You can either post it here, or DM me. Let me know if you would rather I did not show your name.

Banning trans military is one of the dumbest, most unsafe things for our country. Let. Soldiers. Fight. Who the hell cares who it is?

It's been about 5 years, time for another "RADIOHEAD PLAYS 'CREEP' LIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARRRRRRS" headline.

I love reading about SNL history. BUT it's always disconcerting searching for the word "rape" in a 1995 article about SNL so that you can read the passage to someone else. nymag.com/arts/tv/feat...

What does this world have against scroll bars?

Sometimes the issue is just a simple, USB driver. ...and that my synth was unplugged.

The #webbys used to be a cool, indie thing. It looks like things have reallllly changed.

News is awful Post Godzilla

The “Daredevil” series is not the escape-from-reality you might think it is. IYKYK

#BREAKING: Over 36,000 people rallied in Los Angeles today in support of @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social’s OLIGARCHY TOUR — setting a record as their largest stop on this tour.

If you work in film, if I were you, I would look up the producers and never, EVER work with these people. The doc is on Hulu.

I don't see a problem with this situation in the slightest. youtu.be/rzpUcGRhhIA?...
