Personal Description

I'm a contemporary music composer, sonic artist, producer, and performer, specializing in music for film, television, and interactive media. I'll create a thoughtful, intelligent musical score attuned to the specific needs and vibe of your project. My music is an amalgam of orchestral sounds, organic textures, and electronic elements. Whether orchestral, tribal, electronic, atmospheric, cosmic, or ethnic, your new soundscape will support all dramatic elements on and off the screen, using musical elements to emotionally connect the viewer to the characters and scenes before them.

I currently live and work in Los Angeles, CA, serving clients throughout the United States and around the world.

Special Skills

High Fidelity + Streamlined Workflow = Quality, Timely Deliverables
----------------------
I work from a fully-loaded digital audio production and scoring studio, featuring the Sonar 7 Professional Digital Audio Workstation, the Sibelius notation editor, the GigaStudio and Kontakt sampling engines, and over 200GB of the best samples available — including East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra Platinum Edition and East West Quantum Leap RA.

Super high-fidelity recording (24-bit ins at 192kHz) combined with 24-bit and 32-bit sampling ensure the highest possible audio quality. And mastering in 32-bit space ensures that the final deliverables you receive are absolutely pristine, without the artifacts and muddying that may otherwise occur at lower bitrates.

Flexibility To Suit Your Needs
----------------------
In the film and music business, flexibility can be a bit of a rarity. Sometimes situations demand that music change, be re-recorded, or be delivered in a different format than anticipated. Cuts can change. Sometimes, the cue just doesn't work.

Changing requirements shouldn't have to bring the entire process grinding to a halt. I try to create music as an organic, living being, and not as a fragile clockwork of rigid parts. If needs change, the music should be malleable enough to bend rather than break.

Flexible delivery options are also important. Your music editor shouldn't have to resample audio on the dubbing stage, or have to figure out how to decode a FLAC file at the last minute to make it compatible with your existing audio. Whether you need a 5.1 surround music mix or section-separated musical stems to drop directly into Final Cut, I can provide you with precisely the assets you need for your film or media project.

Need assets in a particular format or bitrate?
No problem.

Need assets delivered via FTP?
No problem.

Need a ProTools session file instead of multiple audio files?
No problem.

However you need it is exactly how you'll get it, every time.
