Project Showcase

Brett Donowho's thriller "5 Souls" gave me the opportunity to explore an age old battle between heaven and hell, played out in a contemporary setting. In the first track, Purgatory, I used various other worldy distortion effects along with vocals of the talented Amanda Sodhi to give a sense of this timeless confrontation. The second sample here, 'Did I Ever Show You?' is much more intimate and close to the characters; in this case police officer Sam is coming to terms with the loss of his young daughter.

The score for "Nomads" blends Latin American and Asian instruments together to create a unique sound. The subway track here uses a blend of percussion instuments including timbales, cajon, alongside verious South East Asian instruments that I collected there, while the Calf track blends guitar with a Dan Bau, a native vietnamese instument, to highten a sense of grief and loss.

Scoring Rahul Nath's brilliant "Compromise" gave me the opportunity to collaborate with exceptional Indian classical vocalist Madhuvanti Bhide. The finished score showcases her vocal work, while at the same time incorporating western instuments like a piano to heighten the film's tension between traditional Indian values and Americanization.

I believe that composing effective film scores is about problem solving. How can the heart of the story best be conveyed to the audience? What type of unique sound can be created based on the themes, characters and setting of this one story?

Becuase this problem solving approach is how I work, I invite you to listen first to the Project Showcase items on the left. I can show you how I addressed the needs of these specific films, and maybe you can get a sense of the approach I would use to help your film to connect with its audience.

Demo tracks by genre follow below, to give you a taste of my breadth of compositional experience. I have written much more than can be conveniently displayed on one page, so if you are looking for something specific that you don't see here, feel free to email me to request a demo.

Thank you for your interest in my work!
