James Peterson is simply one of the most promising and exciting film composers to emerge in a long time. Although he has not scored any prominent films, his one released score for The Red Canvas shows that Peterson has what it takes to write complex yet highly affecting music, merging the best techniques of Hollywood's Golden Age composers with modern compositional styles. This score and the Moving Images Suite also included on the CD display Peterson has technical and dramatic chops to spare. If I were so lucky to be involved with the making of a film, I would be thrilled to be able to have his services. More realistically, I hope that prestigious directors as well as talented newcomers will discover him.
