What's New 2006
2006-03-06
2005 was a busy year for Danny, as composer of two major television shows in their final season, NBC's American Dream and Lifetime's Strong Medicine, Danny's schedule was particularly demanding as the two long-running shows moved toward their final episodes. "When a show is winding down, it can be very intense," Danny confided. "Plotlines are ending and the writers and producers have a lot of things they need to express. The composer has to be available 24/7." After completing the last episodes, Danny spent the first month of 2006 working with producers on the pilot for "Courting Alex," the network situation comedy starring Jenna Elfman as a lovelorn lawyer. "I know I just talked about endings being intense, but beginnings are too," Danny laughs. "When a show is starting up, it is a virtual crucible of dynamic energy, ideas are flying around and need to be refined and anchored to reality, so it can be hectic!" Danny continues to compose for the Emmy-nominated writing team for the daytime drama Guiding Light and to write award-winning music for broadcast news stations around the world.

Big News for Danny's "Felicity" music fans "I've been asked to record a studio album," Danny confesses. "I've put it off for a long time, so I'm going to try and get started on that before a film or TV show comes onto the schedule." Danny's album is set to include the famous theme from Felicity called, "Linda's Song," which has attracted enormous attention on the Internet.

As CEO of Amusicom Records, Danny is currently producing new CDs every quarter. "Working in film and television has given me a deep understanding of the needs of music supervisors, directors and producers and Amusicom Records is responding. We have a slate of fresh projects and a stable of some of the finest composers in the business."
