about

In 2005 I teamed up with Duncan Sheik to create the score for Through The Fire, a documentary film directed by Jon Hock that followed Coney Island basketball phenomenon, Sebastian Telfair who was drafted to the NBA straight out of high school. I wrote this song for the end credit sequence of the film but I never released it for download. Since so much time has passed since I wrote it, I decided to create a remix to give it new perspective. Sebastian is no longer in the NBA and much of the glow has faded since the film came out. Nonetheless, his accomplishments still serve as an inspiration.
