This was a minus one/arrangement I made for our staging of William Finn's "A New Brain" here in Manila last August. It was probably the most challenging musical I've done so far, but also one of the most rewarding. I used Propellerhead Reason 5.0 to make this track, as well as all the backing tracks for the show. Credits go to the amazing Mr. William Finn for the composition, I hope I did your score justice. The piano parts were challenging, for sure!

"Sailing" from A New Brain by William Finn (Minus One, 2013)

I made this track for a documentary's trailer last January. I've been wanting to share this for a while now. It's the last track I made with Propellerhead Reason before I shifted to Cubase. New tracks coming up soon! :)

Seagulls In Flight (2014)

From this year's pile of wedding arrangements- an acoustic version of "I Will Follow Him" from Sister Act! Tina and I made this arrangement for a wedding last January. It was the bridal march. 

I just realized that I haven't posted anything on my Sound Cloud for three years now! A lot of things have changed since then--- but Tina is still my music wifey. Haha. We started creating arrangements for weddings last 2016, but I loved working on this particular song.

I Will Follow Him (Sister Act)

I composed this for a scene in a short film 2 years ago. It was untitled until yesterday! If you're curious about the title, all I can tell you is that it's open to interpretation. I continue to find new personal meanings for it, myself. :)

This was recorded with a midi keyboard and Propellerhead Reason 4.0.

Song for a Stranger (2010)

This was one of my first compositions! I made this back in my freshman year in college. We were doing a musical theater production called "Zanna Don't", in which I was the pianist. I think that this song was inspired by the musical's overture, which had a very nostalgic feel to it. 

This composition was used in the opening and closing credits of a short film I did in Bacolod City last 2010. I recorded it with Reason 4.0 and my old keyboard (Korg T2-ex) which I kinda miss except it was really too heavy for gigs. 

The Dandelions In My Childhood Daydreams (2009)

This morning, I made these three themes for a friend's short film (final project for her class.) The overall feel of the film is dreamy/mysterious/eerie/dark/haunting. Even if I did these in less than an hour and everything's still unpolished, I really enjoyed working on them! :)

Here's a link to her film, if you're curious: http://vimeo.com/62550221

Themes from "Come Away" (Film Score, 2013)

Pianist/Film Scorer/Composer/Arranger.

I do film and documentary scores, minus ones for musicals and song arrangements too. I love experimenting with interesting sounds, textures and colors. :)
