How can we work together to elevate your story?
Big-budget sound, at any budget - Indie budget? Short timeline? Team of 2 in Siberia? No problem, I got you.
With over 10 years as a session musician, producer, sound engineer, I'm not just a composer: I'm a one-stop music production department, from the first seed of an idea to a fully-produced score.
Let me take that off your Jira board - Up to your neck in stuff to do?
I'm here to make your life easier, not harder. I understand that music is just one part of a great production, and I'm here to make that part go as smoothly as possible. If you just want that 'music' checklist item gone already, hit me up.
Truly collaborative - my favorite part of the job - Have a particular sound in mind? Let's work together to get there.
My love language is feedback - I'm always available for comments, improvements, and edits. Notes on my music simply make it better, and we all win - easy.
Human touch = human sound - Want a score that makes them cry/love/hate/fistpump?
I use real instruments and players in all of my work (even if it's just me), so you will be getting the emotional impact of a real human performance in every track. With three degrees in violin performance, I've honed my ability to connect emotionally wit an audience.
Love the player, and the game - Are you ready for a composer who doubles as a superfan?
if you knew how many times I've gone to see Dune in IMAX, or how many hours I have in GTA, you'd know I love appreciating great media as much as I love working - I'm here for the love of a great storytelling experience from any angle, including that of the end user...'cause I'm him.
