2018 Marching Band Shows

Per Aspera Ad Astra was commissioned by the 2020-2021 Kamiakin High School Instrumental Musical program during the Covid-19 pandemic when all classes were virtual. The Italian translation of the title is, "through hardships to the stars". Students brainstormed ideas with me over zoom and the piece was composed so that it could be recorded and performed virtually. Fortunately, virtual learning came to an end and the piece was able to be performed live! 

The piece has a lot of cinematic influences and is orchestrated for flex band/orchestra meaning that it can work for a full orchestra or just a concert band. The piece also uses a backing track that can be played through any speaker system or programmed to a MainStage setup.

Longing

Coming Home

And So It Ends

A Place To Belong

What if we all learned to see the world not always as it is, but as it could be? With 2020 almost in the rearview mirror, perhaps it’s time to take this piece of advice and figure out how we can come together not only as a country, but as a world and all of humanity. Utilizing the sonata allegro form and motif-based writing, this show will explore the concept that the world isn’t a perfect place and we don’t need to pretend it is. But if we can acknowledge the bad, it will help us to find the good and bring healing to everyone.

Mad Max: Fury Road - "Brothers In Arms" Soundtrack Remake (originally composed by Tom Holkenborg aka Junkie XL)

Re-orchestrated by Tim

- Produced in Adobe Audition 2020
- Orchestrated in Finale v26
- Sample Libraries: Logic Pro X, EastWest ComposerCloud 
______________________________

Beyond attempting to replicate Holkenborg's orchestration, I wanted a look under the hood at how a major film composer completes the atmosphere of a film using music and sound design. While my recreation features a few creative liberties, capturing the adrenaline and thrill of the film, through Holkenborg's interpretation, was the main goal.

Mad Max: Fury Road - "Brothers In Arms" Soundtrack Remake

Coldplay's first major single turned 20 this month! I was working on an arrangement of this song, for a scholastic group, that unfortunately got delayed due to COVID-19. So I took the opportunity to reimagine the song through some alt-indie influences like Bon Iver, S. Carey, and Sufjan Stevens.

This is my first full project in Logic Pro X! I've been working in Adobe Audition the past five years and am excited to branch out into a more robust production software.
