OFFICIAL CD RELEASE OF “GAGARIN FIRST IN SPACE”
I am happy to announce that , after a successful online release, Â Movie Score Media distributed the score of ‘Gagarin First in Space’ on CD on the 3rd of September worldwide. The music features the 100 piece Russian State Symphony Orchestra, and Choir of the Bolshoi theatre and Ballet.
Some of the reviews from the online release said:
- SCI-FI ONLINE: Â ( 10/10)Â This is an epic score that is well worth investing in. It’s the sort of album you’ll get many hours of enjoyment out of. You’ll play it to death and then constantly dig out to revisit for years to come.
- SOUNDTRACK GEEKS: (9/10) I suggest you check this out for yourself and get a hold of one of this year’s better heroic scores.
- SOUNDTRACK MAGAZINE (9/10) Overall GAGARIN is a score that I know will please film music enthusiast old and new – don’t miss this one, just go buy it.
I hope you enjoy track number 20, ‘The Orange Parachute’ of Gagarin’s descent back to earth:

TRAILER MUSIC FOR “MANDELA : LONG WALK TO FREEDOM”
I am always fascinated by the impact trailer music has on audiences, and last summer I produced my own collection of high-end trailer music SUPERIOR MUSIC AUDIO. The past couple of months were ideal to remix and remaster the four first series albums. Our most recent trailer placement is the track “Written in Destiny” (from the album BATTLE DRAGON) for the European trailer  of Nelson Mandela’s biopic “Long Walk to Freedom”. We are currently working on it now and I can’t wait for the release! Here’s a glimpse of our track:

COMMERCIAL SPOTS AND LOGOS
I still enjoy working on short-form projects and it was a really nice change after two back-to-back orchestral feature scores! During the past couple of months I composed the music logo for the award-winning production company ‘Blue Eyed Pictures’, the TV and radio spot commercials for ‘University of Nicosia’, (the tenth collaboration with production company MS Viewpoint) and the high-end 3D presentation for Milan Lumber.
