Doorman (2008)

Some of my music was licensed for an upcoming film called “Doorman”.  (Not sure of the release date.. it should be soon tough.) The music I composed for this film was a very interesting blend of 80’s and 90’s hip-hop. The various styles ranged from De LA Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, and the Jungle Brothers to Roger Troutman/ Zapp, Ohio Players and Parliament-Funkadelic. I mean all these styles mixed into a single composition.  It was a very interesting request.. or should I say challenge to fulfill.

I’m thankful those old synth sounds are back into todays music so I didn’t have to pull out an old Moog, Juno, Tr-909, 808 or 626 to pull it off.

As we all know, the groves of hip-hop movement in the 80’s, 90’s and today are derived from our honorable R&B-Funk predecessors anyway.

Let us pause for a moment of silence to pay homage to our Electro-Funksters and Funkateer forefathers.

Directed by Stephen Leeds. With Gary Dourdan, Jackie Long,  Zulay Henao.
