‘Breaking Bad’ Writer/Director/Producer George Mastras had some very nice things to say about my music in his episode, “Dead Freight,” in the New York Magazine blog The Vulture.

To accompany the action, Mastras knew he wanted to hear something rhythmic that built in little peaks of suspense. Series composer Dave Porter wrote a pulsating thirteen-minute piece befitting a wacked-out Western. “There are several near-misses,” he says. “Maybe the train won’t stop? Maybe Jesse gets crushed because Walt’s being an egomaniac? I wanted the music to rise and fall and ultimately crescendo into them pulling this crazy thing off.”  (Source)

Film Music Reporter picks up on the news that I will be scoring the upcoming ABC drama ‘Red Widow’ – premiering March 3rd.  My first foray onto one of the “Big 4” American networks. I had the great pleasure of working with writer/producer Melissa Rosenberg (Dexter, the Twilight films) and a terrific group of talented folks on it.
