Fantastic Beasts
The Fantastic Beasts movies -- as with the Harry Potter predecessors -- seem to be set in winter more often then not. For that reason, I think of the films, and the music by James Newton Howard, as seasonal. To me, it only feels right to play this music around winter. My favorite piece from the franchise is, A Close Friend. I view it as the central theme.
I love composer James Newton Howard. His scores from M. Night Shyamalan's early films -- Signs and The Village -- are some of then best ever created.

Gear Used
For this piece, I used my Cordoba Gk Studio guitar. It’s a crystal clear and beautiful sounding guitar. You can find a list of my current gear here.
My music
You can find my personal music on Spotify, Apple, and all streaming services:
The Intellimusica Spotify Playlist: Ethereal & Cinematic Guitar
Deep cuts from artists like Gustavo Santaolalla, Hans Zimmer, Jeff Buckley, and Radiohead - combine to create a heady flow of music for focus, meditation, and self-reflection. This is a Guitar focused (but not exclusive) playlist that elicits the emotional, captivating quality of modern film scores.
