Variations on a Theme by Michael Giacchino
Michael Giacchino is both an amazing rising star in the film music world, and one of my favorite composers. Go watch The Incredibles, Ratatouille, the new Star Trek, or turn on the TV and check out Fringe and Lost. All feature amazing music.
This composition features one of his newer themes, with some of my own twists. It was a challenge to come up with interesting variations, due to the fact that Giacchino himself uses this theme so often, and in such interesting ways.
