Film Scores of 2025

There were times years past that I had an entire post for my favorite film scores of the year. I’m not really sure what happened, as I don’t really have a list of film scores. I’ve watched a decent amount of movies, but maybe just not, you know, NEW ones. I’ve only bought a small […]

Sounds of the Universe : A Conversation With Astral TV

Today we jump into the Wayback Machine and head to September 15th, 2017, when I had a nice chat with Rasmus Rasmussen and Keith Canisius. Rasmussen is the keyboardist for psych rock titans Causa Sui, as well as recording under the name Aerosol. Keith Canisius releases under his own name, and most recently as Shortwave […]

Kill Me Fast And Clean : Cliff Martinez’ ‘Too Old To Die Young’

There’s a handful of filmmaker/composer partnerships that feel as vital as the art created between the two individuals. Hitchcock/Herrmann, Spielberg/Williams, Burton/Elfman, Anderson/Greenwood, and Refn/Martinez. The latter is the most recent pairings that feels like two long lost creative souls finally coming together to help complete each other’s artistic sentences, metaphorically speaking. I’d seen Bronson before […]

In The Moment : Steve Greene Talks New Music Series ‘Distant Transmissions’

There’s a lot to be said for leaving preconceived notions at the door and letting your surroundings guide you when creating. Discarding the everyday struggles, grand concepts, and narratives and just open your head up to the universe and see what happens. There’s a certain kind of internal fire that erupts when an improvisation on […]

JHubner73 Presents : Favorite Soundtracks of 2017

Over the last few years the film score has become very important to me. It was always there, even from a little kid getting goosebumps thanks to John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Danny Elfman, and Ennio Morricone, the film score was making its mark on me whether I realized it or not. But just within the […]

John Carpenter : Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998

I believe we’ve entered the John Carpenter renaissance. Five years ago the man was on the bitter end of a film career that had seen better days. To those in the know the man was and is a filmmaking icon. His subtle nuances, patient tension building, exquisite camera work, and of course his film scoring […]

Scoring Horror : Steve Moore’s ‘The Mind’s Eye’

I find myself listening to more soundtracks than I do watching the movies they score. Is that a bad thing? I’m sure the film directors and writers and producers might think so. It’s not that I have anything against watching movies, it’s just that a lot of the time I have easier access to the […]

‘Form Hell’ : A Conversation With Victims’ Timothy Fife And Chris Livengood

It seems we’re in a bit of a synth phase, musically. Five years ago you had to go digging for those great heavy synth albums by newer artists or head to some obscure record shop that smells like a mix of mildew, takeout food, and cigarettes and spend and afternoon digging in the crates for […]

New Wormhole…Same As The Old Wormhole

So let’s say you had a time machine and you could go back to any point in your life, where would you go? Would you go back and right some wrongs? Would you change some choices you made in your life that might have a profound effect on your future? Would you buy up some […]

Conan the Terminator

I think it’s safe to say that most everyone’s first glimpse of Arnold Schwarzenegger was as Conan the Barbarian. Muscle-bound, loin cloth-wearing Cimmerian warrior that liked to slash armies into mince meat by day and get it on by firelight with the mannish Cimmerian ladies at night. The film Conan the Barbarian was released in […]
