John's Thoughts

This is another one of those feature-length scores which I wrote in the pre-Usual Suspects time, and is one which I may have performed live someday. I mocked it up synthesized, and it's pretty stylistically different for me. It's a heartfelt true story about an autistic man's life and his Irish origins. I was able to do a sort of simple Pacabellian orchestral score peppered with personal tragedy, sadness, joy and an echo of an Irish heritage.

After Public Access is re-performed and out on CD, this will be the next "revival" project to be worked on. Like Access, I own the score, so a release will be definite - someday.
