What will he do next?

Got a letter from an old friend, musician I was lucky to be working with, Graham Reynolds. He's written a major movie score now ("Scanner Darkly"), that is, after God knows how many symphonies, concerti, even an opera. I still remember the day when we recorded the soundtrack for the "Journeyman". Or played together in a dark smoky bar downtown, him beating on the piano strings and other metal surfaces, me trying to master the fine art of improvisation.

Here is an old article by him about our shared flame.

(It includes a nice photo of the conductor who I once loved to hate).

The shine of a true talent, which was not wasted, indeed.

Careful - he must be permanently high now - as there is likely no other way to write a score for Philip K. Dick novel (ot it will end up being minority report and not a major movie)

Oh, it will be major, I mean, huge!
As for him being permanently high... it seems to be a popular belief about him, with his gentle Jesus manners :-)

(The latter certainly was high... in more than one sense :-)
