Winter Guard Tracks

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.

Per Aspera Ad Astra - Flex Orchestra Piece (W/Backing Track)

Music:
Close Your Eyes by Florian Christl
Arranged by Tim Mitchell

Born to Be a Rainstorm tells the story of rediscovering strength and purpose. From the first sounds of distant thunder, piano and strings paint a picture of beauty, chaos, and renewal. A voice reminds us that we were never meant to stay silent. Storms exist to bring growth, light, and life. As the music swells and thunder returns, the rainstorm reclaims its voice — bold, unrestrained, and essential.

Born to Be a Rainstorm

Music:
Shadow Stabbing by Cake
Suit and Tie by Justin Timberlake
Arranged by Tim Mitchell

As the work day ends, phones ring, keyboards click, and quiet chatter forms an unexpected groove that launches us into the evening. After hours, the office takes on a life of its own. "Shadow Stabbing" by Cake brings the tension and creativity of the midnight grind, flowing into the smooth, stylish rhythms of Justin Timberlake’s "Suit and Tie." A brief interlude slows the pace, before the music returns instrumentally, fading back into the nighttime office ambience with gentle guitar notes. Before we know it, the sun is rising and the chaotic chatter of the office is back for another day of excitement! This show captures the humor, rhythm, and subtle beauty of work after hours, where even the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

Night at the Office

Music:
The Yellow Pages (from Telephone Book) by Michael Torke
Jeopardy Theme by Merv Griffin
Arranged by Tim Mitchell

Please Hold turns the universal experience of waiting on the phone into a theatrical journey. From the first ring and the operator’s calm instructions, "please hold" and "just one more minute," to the playful Jeopardy theme and repetitive classical music, the show captures the tension, boredom, and hope of being on hold. A growing drum groove signals change, building momentum until the call is finally connected, ending with a triumphant chord. Through humor, music, and timing, this show transforms everyday frustration into an exhilarating performance!

Please Hold

Life often feels simple and even predictable. We move through our days to the rhythm of a quiet, familiar melody.
But then, something or someone changes everything. A new connection, a new perspective, a new piece of ourselves awakens, and suddenly the simple song we once knew transforms into something deeper and richer.

Set to Cody Fry’s “I Hear A Symphony,” this production begins with simple and delicate piano tones and a single voice reminiscing, “I used to hear a simple song.” As the music unfolds, layers of emotion, movement, and color build, representing discovery, imperfection, and growth.

Through moments of reflection, passion, and release, the performers explore how love, experience, and vulnerability turn life’s simple melodies into something truly extraordinary.
In the end the quiet returns; not as it was before, but transformed. What began as a simple song now resonates as a symphony.

______________________________

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.
