Film Music Magazine – “Dan Wallin: 50 Years of Accurate Sound”
They didn’t interview me or anything, but rather they used two of my scoring session photos. One of them, the panorama from the “Alias” finale scoring session at Paramount, looks awesome spread out over two pages! - November 4, 2006

“English for the Arts”
About 9-months ago, I got an email from someone in Italy asking if they could use my Michael Nyman interview in a book for teaching English to Italian art students. I said “sure”, then thought nothing more of it. Recently, a book showed up in my mailbox – and there was the article! This is the first time I’ve seen my name in bibliography form, so it was kinda cool. - January 22, 2001
“The Invisible Man” – “Flowers for Hobbes” (1MB Quicktimes)
This is not really a publicity item, persay. My good friend Craig Silverstein is a co-producer / lead writer on the Sci-Fi Channel show “The Invisible Man”. He calls me “Wasser”. In a recent episode, “Dr. Wasser” made an appearance (as did Craig in a cameo), and you can see both Quicktimes here and here (1MB each). - July 7, 2000
