This is WILD. I wrote this almost 20 years ago and it's gone quasi-viral in the last couple of years. The YouTube video has half a million views!

If you're in Baltimore tomorrow (10th) at Enoch Pratt Library on Cathedral@6:30 pm, my students are performing a live score that they composed for an amazing silent, black-and-white, 1928 French expressionist adaptation of E.A.Poe's 'Fall of the House of Usher'--and it's FREE!

@NotPerfectJustB @blkwomenread Hope y'all don't mind me popping in here...

Just wanted to throw myself out there as someone else who has developed stress-related chronic hives!

@SamHulick @SrZero For what it's worth, I've seen Giacchino do this as well!

@field_of_reeds You actually put your out just after I discovered this whole thing, which was extra cool because I actually got to enjoy it in real time rather than showing up years late to the party!

[Kristin Naigus 🎙🪈 @field_of_reeds]

There's a new VICE article on @brekfest's Storm Alert theme, and it's extra fun because they are clearly mistaking me for someone else 😅

@janusrose Oh my, I picked a bad week to be off Twitter!

Thank you so much for putting this out there. It was great to talk to you!

[Chris Kennedy @brekfest]

@MartyTheElder Lol.. same here! I think I made it to ep 5 before I realized I had no idea what was going on and should probably cut my losses or go back and rewatch season 2.

[Chris Kennedy @brekfest]

@machinster Great work!

[Chris Kennedy @brekfest]

@Neeto_Makar Thanks, Connor... Was great to talk to you!

I spoke to the wonderful @brekfest on the Weather Report Storm Alert track he wrote ages ago, and recently rediscovered celebrated by the internet. A nice, wholesome story to start your week off right.

Give the piece a read, and the song a listen! A real banger.

@comet_melting Now you've got me thinking about putting a band together 😉

@JovialEclipse I'm 100% certain it is backed up on a server at my old company, but I'm also 99% certain they are not legally able to share it...

[Chris Kennedy @brekfest]

@GURGLEGUY12345 Probably the closest would be my website and sometimes random stuff on YouTube. New Years resolution will be to put my stuff out there!

[Chris Kennedy @brekfest]

@stairmaster_ It's not a bad trade... You get health insurance, job security, support staff, and get to make music all day!

But.. companies rarely have anything to lose by taking or giving credit, so it's kind of weird when they just... don't.

[Chris Kennedy @brekfest]

@MarcoDLC2 @field_of_reeds Nope... wasn't even on my radar at the time!
Some friends of mine played a lot of Street Fighter II when we were in high school (not me, though.. I didn't really like fighting games), which afaik is the only game with Yoko Shimomura's music I had been exposed to at that time 🤯

[Chris Kennedy @brekfest]

@va_wanderer @field_of_reeds I spent a night recently reading through the comments on YouTube. It's truly incredible to see the response... but part of me worries about spoiling the allure of a good mystery!

[Chris Kennedy @brekfest]

@field_of_reeds I wish I could remember more about it... In particular, who was the producer/creative director/editor at TWC who, with at least 15 demos to choose from, picked THIS one.
