I help filmmakers & Game developers achieve their creative vision
60% of the emotion created by a film or video game arises from what we hear, and only about 40% due to what we see happening on screen.
Not only are dramatic effects heightened by the addition of music and, frequently, sound effects, but in many instances, the faces, voices, and even the personalities of the characters are experientially altered.
I create soundtracks that suspend your audience’s disbelief and ensure they feel a powerful attachment to what is happening on-screen that lingers long after the experience is over.
“I feel that music on the screen can seek out and intensify the inner thoughts of the characters. It can invest a scene with terror, grandeur, gaiety, or misery. It can propel narrative swiftly forward, or slow it down. It often lifts mere dialogue into the realm of poetry. Finally, it is the communicating link between the screen and the audience, reaching out and enveloping all into one single experience.” – Bernard Herrmann.
Directors & developers often come to me with statements like “I want this scene to scare the viewer” or “I want this character to come off as very quirky and unique.”
I translate that into something tangible and real.
I will communicate with you intimately about your overall vision for your project and then closely analyze each scene, taking note of the specific moods you are going for.
Generally, I am provided with reference material so I fully understand the level of electronic production vs orchestral instrumentation that is desired.
I would then ask you for (or I choose myself) 3-5 of the most dramatic and important moments in your project and compose a few rough-draft musical themes and pass them to you so you may give notes on your favorite ideas.
With this knowledge in place, I will flush out the themes and completely score the most dramatic moments in your project first so that I may reuse the appropriate melodies on different instruments to create varying moods and reoccurring musical phrases for the viewer during different sections of the story.
After this is complete I flush out the remaining scenes with “filler” music: tones, ambiance, light melodic sequences, rising tension and music effects for scenes in which a full-blown melody does not make sense.
Let’s captivate your audience
EXAMPLE WORK
Here are a few of my favorite tracks I have produced for various films and video games throughout the years, along with a description of the mood I was attempting to evoke.
Click the tab you are interested in, then click the play button to hear the song.
- Shattered Memory Jordan Winslow Buy 2:55
You wake up in a futuristic hospital after undergoing an experimental brain surgery. Tension rises as you become aware of senses you did not have before the accident.
The story has heavy elements of Science Fiction and Horror so with this track I attempted to instill a sense of paranoia while slowly building tension towards the climactic point when the doctors come rushing in to sedate the patient.

Inspired by Westworld, the goal of this track is to immerse the viewer in a sense of rising action and stealth sequences where the protagonist is either combating enemies or avoiding them.
