New gallery! Photos from the Touchback session at AIR Studios, London, 15 years ago — my first time conducting my own film score.

📸 By Jean Herrmann, capturing the orchestra and behind-the-scenes magic.

Cameron is right on the money.

Fascinating Part 2 which squares with my understanding of the industry (both as a bystander and an active participant). Tim’s description of the soft skills needed to survive, let alone thrive, as a film composer are spot on, and the symmetry between the rise of both composers and the "fall" of Goldsmith is a great case study.

Highly recommended.

Goodness I'm late to the party but this is such a great article on John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith—who is, for me too, my "second-favorite-composer." Part 2, here I come!

Generative AI really is the dumbing down of software.

I’m excited to share my score for the #HallmarkChannel film Missing the Boat—a story of two strangers, a missed connection, and an unexpected journey through Italy. 🎶🌊

The music moves between fun, sweeping adventure and intimate moments, featuring mandolin, accordion, guitar, piano, woodwinds, and strings. I also wrote a warm love theme that develops throughout the film. Listen here: www.jeromeleroy.com/missing-the-boat
