2019: FIlm scores

This year, I’ve been commissioned to compose scores for three short films.
All three are still in production.

In each instance, the director and I had multiple workshops, which included making up ideas on the spot when they asked for a revision. All instruments were performed my me, and all production and mixing was done by me.

The process each time was easy-going and flexible, and the work was finished on time. It was a joy to work together, make the directors happy, and create something that challenged me to explore new territory.

2019: commissioned Covers

With Natalie Hart on the vocals, the two of us recorded and produced covers that matched the original as close as possible. They were made for a company that produces tech for children with special needs.

At my studio, we created four tracks from start to finish in one day.

I performed all instruments: guitar, bass, keys, drums, synthesizers, and beat production.

NATALIE HART

In 2016, Natalie and I met 30 minutes before she was set to perform a song in front of a crowd. I listened to her song ten times on my own, we rehearsed once, and we were off! The performance went off wonderfully.

Since then, we’ve performed together a dozen times, and have begun to write together. She sings melodies to me, shares a vibe, and I get to work in minutes.

It’s been a pleasure to work together and become trusted collaborators.

CMYK

CMYK started as a project between myself and three of my best friends at Architecture School. We sought to explore the overlaps between electronic music and live instrumentation…and have untold amounts of fun in our search.

Over 6 years, we constantly evolved our instrumentation, wrote dozens of songs, and were invited to play at The Mercury Lounge, Arlene’s Grocery, Piano’s, and The Bitter End.

Our debut album, Crandangular, came out in 2018, after 2 years of work together. It’s the culmination of everything we learned up to that point, and we couldn’t be more proud of it.

2013/2014: SKY + NAMELESS (Ray banna)

Ray Banna and I built a bit of a cross-country artistic partnership at the end of college. He submitted very emotionally resonant short films to competitions, and I was asked to contribute film scores.

Nameless was first. After reading the screenplay, I wrote the score in one night. Sky happened a year later, and took a bit more time, but turned out just as resonant.

It was a pleasure to work with Ray, and his energetic, sincere, creative mind.
