Music from BAD COP

At the beginning of this year I scored music for the film BAD COP which was David Carradine's last completed film in a starring role. While listening to my iTunes on shuffle today I came across 2 cues I created for the score that I was very fond of and wanted to share.

Themes for Bobby Fischer Bio Pic

Working on the score for Director Damian Chapa's biographical dramatization of the life of world renown chess champion Bobby Fischer.


Got a few versions of the main theme written and wanted to share my current favorite.

The film, which was filmed on location in LA, NYC, Russia and Iceland, follows the life of Bobby Fischer who is considered to be the greatest chess player of all time. He beat the Russians during the Cold War. The Chess match was historical in bringing relations between the USA and Russia to a more calm and cordial state as well as elevating chess to a much more mainstream and "cooler" status.

After his win, Bobby Fischer became a recluse and was exiled by then President George Bush Sr. As a result, Fischer lost all of his rewards, could not return to his home in Brooklyn USA and traveled in seclusion while spiraling down into psychological torment. He developed a strange rant of terrorist-like hatred towards America and Israel- even becoming anti-semitic even though he himself was Jewish.

Chapa has direct and stars in the feature film that spans the entire life of one of the most controversial historic figures in the game of chess
