Classical piece with a "Movie Trailer" twist. 

Last year I was asked to arrange Camille Saint-Saëns' The Carnival of the Animals: VII. Aquarium for a worldwide release trailer. Very exciting prospect, but it never got used. 

Let me know what you think! Thanks for listening.

The "Board with Life" Bit that we released this week is about a game called Mr. Jack. 

Our bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDjiZXe52xI
The game: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/21763/mr-jack

Based on the game's theme, and due to the fact that the writer/director of the Bit and I are huge Hans Zimmer fans, we're paying serious homage to his phenomenal Sherlock Holmes score with the music for this bit. 

Also, this was written in a very short time frame, so it's kinda rough and I'd eventually like to replace several samples, but ultimately I like it. Hope you do, too!

Mr. Jack

I had the pleasure and privilege to compose a full score of original music for the documentary "Tapiz", directed by Patricio Salinas. Many thanks to Patricio for the opportunity. 

The doc had it's world premiere at the 20th Urban Mediamakers Festival: https://umff.com/umff-content-creators-2021.html

A very cool track I got to write for an unreleased trailer. Featuring the incredible vocals of Brina Palencia.

Underscore for the  2016 'Poo-Pourri' spot: "The Best Thing to Happen to Pooping Since Your Butt." 

It was a blast to work on. Several genres and styles spanning the ages, ending with a modern, pleasant, quirky theme. Writing this close to picture is one of my favorite scoring techniques.

The guys at the awesome Tuesday Knight Podcast (https://soundcloud.com/tuesdayknight) asked for a jig to accompany Captain Chestbeard. Thank you Alan and Sean. It was really fun to write! Hope it makes you hop out of your chair and do a pirate dance. :)

Congratulations to the winner in the BIFSC 2019. Well deserved. This is my submission. I did not place, but it was quite the satisfying challenge to write. Over two months I wrote a piece that was intended to explore and celebrate rebirth. I also wanted to write something explicitly for the orchestra; no synths, etc.. Whether that was the right choice will remain a mystery. Thank you for listening, and let me know what you think.

If you would like to see this piece married to picture, let me know and I will send you an unlisted link.
