Music Composition
As a composer, I find that simplicity is the best way to communicate energy and emotion, which is often the main role of music in a game or a film. This is especially true when the audience is distracted by visuals, dialog and sound effects. I work hard to say what needs to be said with as few notes as possible.
Below you’ll find my film scoring reel and a best-of collection of audio samples. For more targeted collections, please click the tabs above to view my film, advertising and game pages.

Below is my film scoring reel and some audio examples of my movie work. I love composing for film because of the way the music and video work together to enhance and enrich the drama of the scene. Watch some of my favorite examples of this synergy below, and let me know if you have a project that needs great music!
