[Thor Joachim Haga]

His first “film score” was a porno and that isn’t even the most embarrassing thing he did.

Whoa, what? That must have passed me by. It is something he’s said in interviews?

Speaking of old work I’m surprised he’s never tried recording again are his two pre-Hollywood concert pieces, Shadow Play Scherzo and Pastime Variations.

Yes, I’m curious about those too. Especially “Shadow Play Scherzo”, which is probably in the top 3 unreleased Goldenthal wishes for me. I’m not quite up to date on his unreleased concert and theatre works, but here’s list I did in February 2021. I believe some more pieces have surfaced since then:
