It seems that lately there has been a conucopia of Steven Segal flicks all over 
basic cable. Dad and I were watching a few of them and I could have sworn 
that I saw Gary Chang's name as the composer on "Under Siege" (unless it 
was one of the other myriad Segal flix). I know that Gary just did the Steven 
King series on sci-fi and was wondering if he did this one too (although I 
really don't remember any synthesizery stuff in it. Then again, we were 
watching them just to zone out...).

A friend of mine just scored the latest Siegal movie.
He's more of a soft synths guy unfortunately.
Respect to you Gary.
I ALWAYS use my modular gear on tv scores.
Unfortunately I've co-written scores with a couple of friends and while I'm
still tweaking the modular sequencer part on my first cue, they've completed
all their work using a variety of Spectrasonics sample discs plus the
aforementioned soft synths and are kicking back with an evening cocktail.
The hard truth is the directors don't really care about the uniqueness of
the sounds.
I guess instruments like Wiard, Modcan, Serge and Buchla give us daily
inspiration, so we soldier on. LOL

I caught the last half of 'The Breakfast Club' last night - again 
some excellent work from Mr. Chang!

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks, Scott!  (Boy, does that show my age, or what?)

Roland MKS 20 piano module
