Synopsis: An anthology film retelling the story of the famous Studio 54, a hot disco hangout for the social elite of New York. The movie follows several characters at once, some of whom are in desperate straits and on the verge of crashing.

A NOTE FROM THE COMPOSER

It was similar to Halloween in that they had a finished product and realized they needed a score at the end. There was little time - I had maybe seven or eight days to write it. The movie had a lot of songs in it, and they realized they needed some score in it to tie it all together. There wasn't a lot of music, maybe 20 minutes or so, which I wrote for the show. While I had to integrate some of the disco feel of the film into the score, the main intent of the score was to have a theme for the main character. The score opens the film and is used throughout the film whenever that theme is needed. It is also used in probably ten places - it wasn't a major scoring job. It was a bit of a change for me - I had to brush up on my disco!
