ABOUT

 

I have been writing electronic music since I was about fifteen years old. My influences draw heavily from synth pop, gothic rock, 80’s new wave, dance, electronic ambient and cinematic styles. I have also forever been inspired by the music of film. There is a freedom in cinematic music composition that is unique, where the composer can intentionally blend styles and sounds from different genres to “create” the perfect score for the picture.

I have spent many years writing music for various different projects and platforms, learning the craft, and mastering the tools needed to produce great music. With over 20 years of production experience, I am finally in a place where I could be valuable to a film.

For me there is no greater artistic collaboration than composing music for film. The composer that supports a film carries with them a responsibility that cannot be expressed in any language. It is the music that binds the pictures to the story and provides the visual landscape with the sonic materials from which we build imagination.
