25 years later, Amélie inspires me as much as ever. Happy anniversary to a film that changed how I see the world. 🥂 #Amélie #YannTiersen #FilmMusic #PianoCover 4/4

Yann Tiersen's score is inseparable from the magic of that film. "Comptine d'un autre été" in particular has this rare quality—it sounds like a memory you've never had but somehow miss deeply. Simply perfect 3/4

Amélie (2001) follows a shy, dreamy Montmartre waitress who secretly sets out to change the lives of everyone around her through small acts of kindness—while finding the courage to finally live her own story. Audrey Tautou is absolutely luminous. 💫 2/4

Today is the 25th anniv. of Amélie—my all-time favorite film. 🎬✨ To celebrate, I recorded a piano cover of Yann Tiersen's breathtaking "Comptine d'un autre été—L'après-midi" ("Nursery Rhyme of Another Summer—The Afternoon").🎹 🧵1/4

Exactly how long is 20 sec to wash your hands? The fabulous musicians of the @helixcollective.bsky.social brilliantly answered this question in 2020 with a series of 20-second-long pieces to listen to while following the anti-covid health guidelines. 🧵1/3

Memories of “Return of the Caped Crusaders” (an animated version of the classic ‘66 Batman TV show w/Adam West, Burt Ward & Julie Newmar providing voices!) in 2016. Lolita, Mike & I recorded the Neil Hefti-inspired score at the legendary Capitol Records with a killer band of LA’s finest! 🦇🎺

This was my first job on BTAS! Shirley asked me to orchestrate the full score from her composer sketches as my audition to later write music for the show. She composed the most perfect demented sitcom theme for Baby-Doll 🤩 & tragic emotional finale. Thanks @worldsfinest.bsky.social for the post 🙏

I recorded the piano in my home studio in Los Angeles and collaborated over the internet with the fabulous musicians of the FAMES orchestra, located in Skopje, Macedonia, and conducted by Maestro Oleg Kondratenko for the remainder of the orchestra parts. 3/5

Initially composed during the 2020 pandemic and recorded remotely to capture the isolation many felt during the lockdowns, this movement illustrates pondering the inevitable changes ahead and the uncertainty they may bring. 2/5

It’s the time of year when a noticeable chill sets in the air, the leaves change colors and the Earth prepares for Winter. I'd like to invite you to listen to "Autumn Ruminations," the first movement of my Four Episodes for Piano and Orchestra based on the Four Seasons. 🧵1/5

Warner Bros. used to have retail stores, and among the WB swag they had framed animation cels. By chance I found a cel from “Catwalk,” the first episode of BTAS I scored completely on my own. 3/4

I had no idea in less than 2 years I would arrive here in LA to begin my career and even less idea whether or not the move would be permanent! It all has to start with a dream—don’t be afraid to chase that dream and make it an intention! 2/4

Happy 33rd Anniversary of the premiere of #BatmanTheAnimatedSeries! (Sep 5, 1992) I was still at the University of North Texas and it was essential watching in my dorm… the concept of having a career in Hollywood was a distant “some day/what if.” 🧵1/4

The drums were recorded by Eric Sarafin & the guitars/basses were recorded by Mako Sujishi. During the sessions, I had the pleasure of Oscar-winning composer Mychael Danna stopping by while he was visiting a film mix at one of the stages next door. Awesome photos by Dana Ross 7/7

While this was a solo composing credit, it was still very much a team effort w/my DMP colleagues Michael & Lolita contributing orchestrations along with my lead orchestrator Larry Rench. The score was recorded & mixed by Bobby Fernandez and my music editor was Diane Griffen 6/7

Kristopher Carter @kristophercarter.bsky.social · 29/08/2025
Expanding the sound we used on the Emmy-winning TV series, the score added a full orchestra of top LA studio musicians recorded at the WB Eastwood Scoring Stage to the metal shredding talents of Gabriel Moses on guitar, Jon Button on bass and John “JR" Robinson on drums. 5/7

Memory of working at the DreamWorks Animation 20th anniversary concert w/Zimmer, Gregson-Williams, Powell &the HollywoodBowlOrchestra. My computer generated the beats/clicks for the entire show to play along with the film clips. No clicks…the show stops! But no pressure, right??? 😅 Jul 19, 2014
