Joel Irwin's Reel

This is the score to the 1 minute promotional video for the feature film "Unbridled" which will be in theaters on April 27, 2018. Keep in mind I scored the promotional video and not the feature film itself. You can also listen to just the music at: www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=224627 The film:...

Premiered at the 168 Film Festival in LA, Aug 26-27, 2017. I was nominated for "Best Score" for this film.

Two 20 second audio clips from the end titles of "Wood And Stone" - the first is the released soundtrack and the second was the submitted score music WAV file. Notice the lack of depth and 'stereo split' in the released soundtrack versus what was given to the mixer.

"Lord Bless You & Keep You" by Peter Lutkin as performed by the choir of St. Paul's Methodist Church at a wedding on Aug 1, 2015.

Original cue, temp track, and final cue.

Can you score a film for both live and electronic performance on a plane with a laptop? Sure can - an all on a battery using a Korg Microkey 3 octave keyboard. The mouse is actually used on the laptop.

Recorded at Cezanne's Jazz club houston, texas. Composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Arranged by Joel Irwin.

The film I have scored, "Gift Of Grace" was entered in the KidVid category in the 168 Film Festival In LA and it has won its category on Sept 13, 2014. Congratulations to filmmaker Mark Baird and the rest of the film crew. The film can be viewed online in Nov.

This is my arrangement of the famous hit (and drum solo) by Cozie Cole in 1958. This wonderful big band did a 'reading' of my chart. What you hear is their first look at the chart (no prior rehearsals). This performance is from Sept. 2011.
